Simpkins v. Simpkins, 278 Ga. 523

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed a contempt order and final divorce judgment arising from the disposition of marital funds. The court held that sufficient evidence supported the finding that the husband's guardian willfully violated court orders by using funds from a money market account awarded to the wife.

Holdings

1. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that John Simpkins willfully violated the court's orders concerning the BB&T account and holding him in contempt.
2. The remaining arguments raised by John Simpkins did not establish reversible error, so the final judgment of divorce was affirmed.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the trial court abused its discretion by holding John Simpkins in willful contempt for violating orders restricting disposition of the BB&T account.
2. Whether any of John Simpkins's other asserted errors warranted reversal of the final judgment of divorce.

Disposition

affirmed
