Family — attorney fees — frivolous appeals

Marek Dudka appeals an order requiring him to pay his ex-wife Michelle Glowacki-Dudka $24,213 for attorney fees she incurred in collecting the property division portion of the parties’ divorce judgment. Dudka also appeals a related order that bans him from filing any additional motions until the attorney fee award has been paid. Glowacki-Dudka moves for an award of costs and attorney fees on the grounds that the appeal is frivolous. We affirm both orders for the reasons discussed below and award Glowacki-Dudka attorney fees and costs for this appeal. This opinion will not be published.
