Windham Bank v. Tomaszczyk

In Windham Bank v. Tomaszczyk, (1971), 27 Ohio St.2d 55, 271 N.E.2d 815 the Ohio Supreme Court held: "Contempt of court is defined as disobedience of an order of a court. It is conduct which brings the administration of justice into disrespect, or which tends to embarrass, impede or obstruct a court in the performance of its functions." By filing her litigation, in her name and in the name of her alter ego, Cleveland Industrial Square, Nancy violated the trial court' s order to refrain from pursing Daniel's property interest in the East 152nd Street and 75 Public Square properties. A property division in a divorce decree may be enforced by contempt proceedings.
