SARAH BROWN v. BRETT WALLACE

Syllabus

The trial court found a father guilty of nine counts of criminal contempt based on his alleged violation of the trial court's previous order addressing child support arrearage and the current child support arrangement for the father's minor child. Because the order appealed from contains no findings on the essential elements of criminal contempt, on what evidence supports the judgment, or on whether the criminal contempt was initiated on proper notice, we vacate and remand to the trial court.

Judges: Judge John W. McClarty
