PAMELA ANNETTE DOTSON v. WILLIE JEFFERSON DOTSON

Posted by: Karen Belcher on Nov 6, 2018

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Jeffrey O. Powell, Hendersonville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Willie Jefferson Dotson.

Attorneys 2:

Grayson Smith Cannon, Gallatin, Tennessee, for the appellee, Pamela Annette Dotson.

Judge(s): MCBRAYER

This post-divorce dispute concerns the enforcement of a retirement benefits provision in a marital dissolution agreement. After the defendant retired, he refused to pay any portion of his retirement benefits to his ex-wife based on his interpretation of their marital dissolution agreement. His ex-wife disagreed with his interpretation and petitioned the trial court to enforce their agreement. Both parties moved for summary judgment. The trial court denied the defendant’s motion and granted his ex-wife’s cross-motion. Upon review, we affirm the trial court in all respects and award the ex-wife her attorney’s fees incurred on appeal.
