California Court of Appeal

Order of contempt against husband, for violating standard family law restraining orders prohibiting him from encumbering or transferring property during the pendency of the marital dissolution proceedings, is affirmed over numerous claims that the trial court acted in excess of its jurisdiction where: 1) it awarded wife attorney fees under Code of Civil Procedure section 1218(a); 2) its order and statement of decision do not cite supporting facts; 3) the restraining orders became unenforceable as vague as a result of the parties' stipulations; and 4) the restraining orders expired on the trial court's oral finding of the effective date of the parties' marital dissolution.
