Hall v. Hall

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment upholding the plaintiff's civil contempt for violating an unambiguous order governing a joint account and for failing to establish that he reasonably relied on advice of counsel. It also affirmed the denial of the parties' joint motion to open and vacate the contempt judgment because the plaintiff offered no evidence that the judgment would negatively affect his career, and the trial court retained discretion despite the parties' agreement.
