This case involves the trial court’s ongoing attempts to compel appellant Ronald Massey Husband to comply with the terms of the parties’ 2005 divorce decree and a series of later contempt orders obtained by appellee Angela Massey Wife. In this appeal, Husband challenges the last two contempt orders, which the trial court issued on June 27 and October 16, 2012. Husband’s claims regarding the June 27 contempt order are barred by the dismissal of his previous appeal from that order. However, Husband is correct that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to enter the October 16 contempt order because his previous appeal was still pending in this Court on that date. We therefore dismiss Husband’s attempted second appeal of the June 27 contempt order and vacate the October 16 contempt order.

1. The parties were divorced in October 2005, and the divorce decree ordered Husband to pay monthly child support of $850 plus half of the children’s medical expenses not covered by insurance. The decree also ordered that the marital residence be placed on the market immediately, required Husband to make the monthly mortgage payments, and awarded Wife the equity in the house.
