Harshman v. Harshman
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the post-judgment orders following a divorce judgment entered in the district court finding Edward Harshman in contempt, holding that the facts of this case supported the contempt order.
The district court's orders of contempt found Edward in contempt of the parties' divorce judgment after he failed to obtain a $500,000 life insurance policy that would name Sheila Harshman, his former wife, as the owner and beneficiary, and acted in bad faith allowing his existing life insurance policy that listed Sheila as the beneficiary to lapse. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of contempt, holding that Edward failed to produce evidence of his inability to comply with insurance provision of the divorce judgment.
