FARMER V. FARMER
735 N.E.2d 285 (2000)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Robert Farmer (H) sought review of the order which held him in
contempt for failure to pay child support and made other rulings with respect to child
support, visitation, and attorney fees.
FACTS: H and W have a thirteen-year-old daughter. W has custody of the child. The parties
appeared on all pending matters, including W's Petition for Rule to Show Cause for failing
to pay child support and H's Petition to Modify Visitation. A few weeks later, the trial
court entered a contempt citation and visitation order. H then filed a Motion to Correct
Errors Or, In The Alternative, Motion to Set Aside Order. H was in arrears in the payment of
child support in the amount of $18,540.00. H had not paid any child support since September
30, 1995 and was found in contempt and sentenced to 180 days in the Lake County Jail, or
until all arrearages are paid, whichever is accomplished sooner. H had not made any attempt
to exercise visitation since October, 1997, and is hereby given one (1) last opportunity to
establish visitation and a relationship with the parties' daughter. The court would also
find that if H did not pay the back support and establish visitation, it would find that any
further visitation would endanger the child's physical health or significantly impair the
child's emotional development and will vacate its Order with respect to visitation. This
appeal was taken.
