Marriage of Stupp and Schilders CA1/2
The entry of a stipulated judgment of dissolution did not end litigation between Steven Stupp and Annemarie Schilders. Amid highly contested postjudgment proceedings, Stupp filed a motion seeking to compel discovery responses relevant to Schilders’s pending request to have Stupp pay her attorneys’ fees. Two court days before the scheduled hearing on Stupp’s motion to compel, Schilders filed an ex parte application asking the family court to continue the hearing; to modify child and spousal support; and to order Stupp to pay additional attorneys’ fees and costs. The court denied the application in its entirety and reserved jurisdiction on Stupp’s request for sanctions related to the application. Schilders does not challenge the family court’s denial of her request for a continuance, but she contends that the family court erred by failing to hold an evidentiary hearing on her ex parte requests, by denying the requests, and by reserving jurisdiction over Stupp’s request
