Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Sean Ross Aiello, Franklin, Tennessee, for the appellant, Abigail Lynn Sevigny.

Attorneys 2: Helen Sfikas Rogers and Stella Kamm Mallinak, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Warren Maxwell Sevigny.

Judge(s): BENNETT

In this post-divorce dispute, the wife filed a petition for criminal contempt. After testimony was heard, the parties announced in broad terms that they had reached a settlement. Thereafter, the parties could not agree on the terms of the settlement. At a hearing on the husband’s motion requesting approval of his proposed order, the court dismissed the petition on grounds of double jeopardy. We have determined that the trial court erred in dismissing the case and remand for further proceedings.
