Adriene Parker appeals from an order of contempt entered against her by the Superior Court of Fulton County for her wilful violation of certain provisions of a temporary visitation order. Because Parker failed to timely file a notice of appeal of the trial court’s contempt order, we lack jurisdiction and dismiss this appeal.

In September 2014, Parker filed a petition to modify the visitation rights of Al-Rahim Robinson with the couple’s minor child.1 Robinson responded, and the couple entered a temporary order regarding visitation which required, in part, Parker to board the minor child on a January 1, 2015 flight to New York City, New York to visit Robinson. Parker failed to board the child as required. In January 2015, Robinson asked the trial court to hold Parker in contempt for violating the temporary order. Following a hearing during which the trial court received evidence, the trial court entered an order dated February 13, 2015 finding Parker in contempt and ordering her to reimburse Robinson for various expenses, including $2,000 in attorney fees.2
