  • concluding that a jail sentence was improperly imposed for indirect civil contempt where “the trial court did not condition [the contemnor’s] jail sentence upon . . . compliance with its orders”
  • holding that two-week jail sentence for contempt was illegal where trial court failed to include provision allowing defendant to purge himself of contempt and forgo jail sentence by complying with trial court’s order
  • concluding that appellant was not entitled to evidentiary hearing on his Rule 60(B)(1) motion based on excusable neglect where he alleged that his attorney was negligent but attorney negligence will not support a finding of excusable neglect as a matter of law
  • providing that generally the marital estate closes on the date the dissolution petition was filed and debts incurred by one party after that point are not to be included in the marital estate
  • noting that Trial Rule 60(D) generally requires trial courts to hold a hearing on any pertinent evidence before granting Trial Rule 60(B) relief, but that when there is no pertinent evidence to be heard, a hearing is unnecessary
