Horn v. Shepherd
Annotate this Case
After this divorce proceeding returned to the trial court on remand from "Horn I," the Husband filed a motion to recuse the assigned trial judge, and another judge from the circuit was assigned to hear the recusal motion. After a hearing on the recusal motion, but prior to the entry of a written order, the new judge held a hearing on a contempt motion that had been filed in the case before the recusal motion. The new judge issued an order holding the Husband in contempt. The judge later entered an order recusing the judge originally assigned to the case. The Supreme Court granted the Husband's application to appeal the contempt order, and it vacated that order because the judge assigned to decide the recusal motion lacked authority to act on unrelated matters in the case.
