Description
SWAN, District Judge. This appeal is brought by defendant from an order and judgment awarding plaintiff judgment in the sum
of $4,500 for delinquent support money and attorney's fees in the sum of $100, finding defendant in contempt of court for
wilful failure to comply with the divorce decree and sentencing him to serve 30 days in the county jail, and further denying
defendant's petition to modify the divorce decree. Plaintiff brought this action on a petition and order to show cause why defendant should not be found in contempt of court
and punished accordingly for his wilful failure to comply with the order of the court in a divorce decree, why plaintiff should
not be awarded judgment against defendant for delinquent support money in the sum of $4,605, and for attorney's fees and costs.
The defendant filed an answer to plaintiff's petition, alleging as an affirmative defense that plaintiff had told the defendant
that if he would pay certain creditors to prevent them from garnisheeing plaintiff's wages, and paid as much as he could reasonably
afford for support money for the children, she, plaintiff, would expect no more, and that if plaintiff had not so agreed,
defendant would have petitioned for a modification of the decree. The defendant cross-petitioned for a modification of a divorce
decree, alleging that at the time of the divorce plaintiff was unemployed but that within two or three months she had obtained
steady employment.
