William Castelli v. Rene Castelli

Appellant William Castelli, the husband, appeals a non-final order finding him in civil contempt and compelling him to execute a contract to sell real property, i.e., the former marital residence previously shared with Appellee Rene Castelli, the wife from whom Appellant is separated.
