Birkhold v. Birkhold

Summary

The court affirmed the postdissolution orders determining that the plaintiff's commission draws and consulting receipts were income subject to the parties' alimony agreement, even when deposited into his limited liability company. It also upheld the fixed monthly modification of alimony, the contempt finding based on the plaintiff's unilateral underpayment, and the attorney-fee award. The court concluded that the agreement broadly covered employment compensation and that the plaintiff could not use ambiguity or self-help to avoid seeking judicial clarification.
