Charles Symanietz v. Deborah Symanietz

Summary

The court affirmed the child-support, alimony, mediation, and January contempt rulings to the extent it had jurisdiction, holding that the circuit court properly imputed income based on earning capacity, awarded alimony based on the parties' financial circumstances, declined to enforce an evidentially unsupported mediation agreement, and found contempt for failure to pay child support. It dismissed the challenges to the later contempt orders because the notice of appeal was untimely and vacated the court of appeals' opinion. Justice Webb, dissenting, would have reversed the alimony award because the imputed income did not reflect Charles's current ability to pay.
