Aldridge v. Aldridge
Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama
1Opinion of the Court
WRIGHT, Presiding Judge.
The husband was found to be in contempt for failure to make child support payments and was ordered to pay the amount of $2,800 to the wife for all arrearage. The husband appeals from the trial court’s denial of his motion for new trial.
The wife argues that the husband has erred in his choice of method of review to this court. It is well established that the proper remedy for review of contempt proceedings is habeas corpus if the party is in jail, or by certiorari if the party is not, and appeal is not proper.
