Family — property division – contempt — inability to pay
This is the second visit of Bruce A. Findley and Ellen V. Gibbons, formerly Findley, to this court since they divorced in 2004. Gibbons persists in trying to collect from Findley the remainder owed to her from the property division portion of the divorce judgment. The circuit court found that Findley’s continued inability to pay does not stem from a willful intent to avoid his obligation, and declined to find him in contempt or to order periodic payments. Courts do not have the power to squeeze blood from a turnip. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
