Evelyn R. Cohen v. Stephen J. Murphy

An appeal by a husband from a Probate Court decree adjudicating him in contempt for failure to pay a certain sum for the support
of his minor children did not present a moot case, although his wife filed an acknowledgment that such sum had been paid "in
complete satisfaction of" the contempt judgment, where the acknowledgment stated that it was understood that the husband "is
reserving his right to appeal said judgment." [146-147] Following a divorce decree ordering a husband to pay to the wife a certain sum each week for the support of the parties'
"minor children only," benefits awarded the husband for the children from the Veterans' Administration and the Social Security
Administration should have been credited against the amounts due from him under the support order. [147-148]
