Description
The question in this case is whether a husband may be found guilty of contempt after entry of judgment of divorce for failure to pay temporary alimony allowed by prior order of court, where the judgment reserves to the wife the right to the allowances provided for in the order. Plaintiff, during the pendency of this action for divorce, obtained an order allowing her temporary alimony and attorney's fees. At the time of trial there was due her $900 unpaid temporary alimony. Evidently $60 thereof was paid after entry of the judgment. The judgment reserved to plaintiff the right to the unpaid temporary alimony without stating what amount was due. Upon a showing that the $840 was unpaid, plaintiff moved to amend the judgment so as to provide that she was entitled to recover $840 from defendant. At the same time she made another motion to amend the judgment so as to provide that defendant pay her as alimony $50 per month instead of $35. Defendant made a countermotion to amend the judgment by eliminating therefrom the provision reserving to plaintiff the right to the unpaid temporary alimony. The trial court denied the three motions, except that it ordered defendant to pay to plaintiff $45 per month, of which $10 was to be applied on the unpaid temporary alimony and the balance was to be permanent monthly alimony, and also the sum of $25 as an attorney's fee. Defendant has failed to comply with the order although it was duly served on him. In answer to the order to show cause why he should not be adjudged to be in contempt for failure to make the payments according to the order, defendant took the position that, because of the entry of the judgment, the court could not compel him to pay the unpaid temporary alimony.
