Description:
Monroeville, Alabama family law lawyers represented the wife and husband in a divorce.
On December 9, 2020, the husband filed in the trial court a complaint for a divorce against the wife; he requested, among other things, an equitable division of the parties' assets and an award of attorney's fees. On December 11, 2020, the trial court entered a pendente lite order directing the parties to, among other things, preserve, in their present form and location, all assets owned by them either jointly or individually. The wife filed an answer to the complaint and also counterclaimed for a divorce; she asserted that the husband had committed adultery during the marriage, and she sought, among other things, an award of alimony, a division of the parties' assets and debts, and an award of attorney's fees. On August 31, 2021, the wife filed a motion for contempt; she asserted that the husband had failed to abide by the pendente lite order by disposing of and diminishing the parties' assets.
On June 28, 2023, a trial was conducted. On August 5, 2023, the trial court entered an order divorcing the parties, dividing the parties' assets, and declining to award alimony to the wife. On September 5, 2023, the wife filed a motion to alter, amend, or vacate the August 5, 2023, order; on December 7, 2023, the trial court entered an order denying the wife's motion. On January 8, 2024, the wife filed a notice of appeal to this court; that appeal was docketed as appeal number CL-2024-0020. On February 22, 2024, this court entered an order dismissing that appeal as having been taken from a nonfinal judgment, based on the trial court's failure to adjudicate the wife's August 31, 2021, motion for contempt. On March 11, 2024, this court issued its certificate of judgment in appeal number CL-2024-0020. On June 18, 2024, the trial court entered an order denying the wife's motion for contempt. On July 17, 2024, the wife filed a postjudgment motion, which the trial court denied on August 12, 2024. On August 27, 2024, the wife filed a notice of appeal to this court. This court entered an order incorporating the record from appeal number CL-2024-0020 into the present appeal.
