Description

After thirty-two years of marriage and five children, Dr. Bobby Joe Kennedy and Ms. Janet Kennedy went through an extremely contentious divorce. Early on in the proceedings, the trial court ordered the Kennedys to sell one of their properties and use the proceeds to pay legal fees and other expenses. For reasons unclear from the record, Ms. Kennedy refused to endorse the check after the property was sold. This caused the court to hold her in contempt and, inexplicably, to strike her pleadings and grant an interlocutory divorce as a sanction. After a trial on the merits, the court rendered a final decree of divorce and divided the parties' property. On appeal Ms. Kennedy complains among other things that the trial court erred in: (1) granting an interlocutory divorce as a sanction, (2) granting summary judgment in favor of James Piper, Dr. Kennedy's attorney, on her claims that he committed abuse of process and intentional infliction of emotional distress by recommending that the court grant the divorce as a sanction, and (3) failing to award her post divorce maintenance in the face of a jury finding that she suffered from a disability that precluded her from employment. Because we hold that the trial court's error in granting the interlocutory divorce was harmless, that the trial court properly granted summary judgment in favor of Mr. Piper, and that the trial court was not required to grant Ms. Kennedy post divorce maintenance, we will affirm the judgment of the trial court.
