JILL CHERI HOWE v. DONOVAN TODD HOWE

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jun 30, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: John P. Konvalinka and Lawson Konvalinka, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellant, Donovan Todd Howe.

Attorneys 2: Jeremy M. Cothern and Samuel R. Rule, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellee, Jill Cheri Howe.

Judge(s): DAVIS

This is a post-divorce civil contempt action stemming from a divorce that was finalized in 2014. At the hearing on the contempt petition in February 2024, the husband moved the trial court to dismiss the petition because the parties’ marital dissolution agreement was not in the record. The trial court granted this motion but later, upon motion by the wife, set aside the 2014 final decree pursuant to Rule 60.01. The trial court re-entered the final decree, nunc pro tunc, with the marital dissolution agreement attached. From this order, the husband timely appeals to this Court. We reverse.
