incarceration on the contempt order on Wednesday,
May 3, 1995, five days before the non-jury trial.
Robert L. Stahl appeared at the non-jury trial of this
cause in custody of the Pinellas County Sheriff on the
previously entered contempt and commitment order
entered by this Court for the failure to pay child
support. It is this Court’s interpretation of the
Former Husband’s actions that he is willing to take any
action including voluntarily going to jail to avoid his
obligations to his family and his disabled child.
* * * * * * *
7. Notwithstanding the Former Husband’s voluntary
abandonment of his $60,000 per year job at E-Systems
and the voluntary dissipation of assets available to
pay child support and alimony pending the Final
Hearing, the Former Husband has made it clear that he
has no intentions of paying any support as Ordered by
this Court or complying with lawful Judgments of this
Court. He has dissipated or hidden every asset which
he could control since the pendency of this action.
8. Until the hearing of June 29, 1995, the Former
Wife had been unable and prohibited by the Former
Husband from discovering the value of the Former
Husband’s pension and profit-sharing benefits at his
former employer.
9. At this time the Former Wife is unable to be
employed outside of the home because of the attention
required by the parties’ disabled child. She, however,
is seeking to become employed in the future and is
currently seeking employment. In the interim, because
the Former Husband has refused to pay child support,
although having the ability to do so, the Former Wife
is presently on public assistance through the receipt
of AFDC. * * * The Former Husband’s child support
obligation, commencing June 1, 1995, shall be * * *
$1234.25 per month
* * * * * * *
10. The Court has previously entered a qualified
Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) as to the Former
Husband’s Capital Accumulation Plan (T-CAP). The
Court’s Order was dated November 10, 1994. That Order
is hereby set aside and shall have no force and effect.
