The father brought a motion to hold the mother in contempt for allegedly failing to comply with prior court orders requiring the timely sale of their jointly owned New York property.
The mother brought a cross-motion to stay all future proceedings by the father until he paid outstanding costs orders.
The court dismissed the contempt motion, finding that the prior orders did not clearly and unequivocally require the mother to sell the property immediately, but rather permitted her to sign documents to facilitate a sale without the father's consent.
The court granted the mother's cross-motion, staying the father's future motions until he satisfied his outstanding costs obligations.
