Court Orders • Contempt • Sanctions • Appealability • Abuse of Discretion

N.A.M. v. M.P.W., PICS Case No. 17-1299 (Pa. Super. Aug. 7, 2017) Ford Elliott, P.J. (12 pages).

Trial court correctly held that mother was in contempt of the court’s order but erred in not imposing sanctions for mother’s repeated, flagrant and ongoing contempt of orders related to child custody because no sanctions for flagrant abuse of court orders was an a abuse of discretion and father could challenge the order as a collateral order. Reversed in part and affirmed in part.
