Stinson v. Stinson

OPINION

LAMBERT, Judge:

Stephen Ray Stinson appeals from the order of the Barren Family Court holding him in contempt of an amended domestic violence order (DVO) for violating the no contact or communication provision. He contends that the family court erred in entering the original DVO in 2009 and that he could not be found in contempt of the amended DVO because he had never been served with it. Because we agree that a party may not be held in contempt for violating an order with which he was not served, we must reverse the contempt order.

Stephen and Tracy Lynn Stinson were formerly married…
