H filed a rule to reduce child support and terminate alimony alleging a change of circumstances from lost income due to an auto accident. Holly (W) filed a rule for contempt for failure to pay child support and alimony. W asked that the court grant an executory judgment for the arrearages, punish the defendant for contempt, and award attorney fees and court costs necessitated by the rule. When the parties appeared before the court, the only matter left to be tried was the rule for contempt. The trial judge found H in contempt for failure to pay his child support and ordered that he serve fourteen days in jail. H appealed that ruling. He served two days in jail before posting bond and being released pending a ruling on appeal.
