Danny M. Hryhorchuk, Morristown, Tennessee, for the Appellee, Linda

Judge: SWINEY
First Paragraph:
Linda Jane Holt ("Plaintiff") and Billy Dale Holt ("Defendant") were
divorced in June of 2002. As part of the divorce judgment, Plaintiff
was ordered to sell the marital residence and give $20,000 of the
proceeds to Defendant. Defendant filed a petition for contempt in
July of 2003, claiming Plaintiff had not sold the house. Plaintiff
answered and filed a counter petition claiming Defendant had violated
a permanent restraining order contained in the divorce decree by
writing letters to her and their daughter. The Trial Court ordered
Wife either to sell the house within four months or the Court Clerk
would sell it at public auction. The Trial Court also ordered that
Defendant be permanently restrained from sending Plaintiff and the
parties' daughter letters or other written correspondence. The Trial
Court also ordered Defendant to pay Plaintiff's attorney's fees and
costs in connection with the petition for contempt and the counter
petition. Defendant appeals the award of attorney's fees and costs.
We vacate the award of attorney's fees and affirm the award of costs.
