Wallis v. Superior Court of San Bernardino County

An interlocutory judgment of dissolution was entered on November 9, 1979, which ordered Powell R. Williams (the responding party below and hereafter Powell) to pay respondent spousal support in the amount of $800 per month and $750 in attorneys fees. Powell made none of the ordered payments, and on December 17, 1980, respondent obtained an order to show cause re contempt. After a hearing, the court dismissed the contempt proceeding against Powell and terminated the spousal support order. A judgment was subsequently entered declaring that Powell owed arrearages to respondent in the amount of $12,750.
