Family Law/Record: $3,000 Family Code Section 271 Fee Award Against Husband Sustained On Appeal

 

Failure to Provide Reporter’s Transcript or Substitute Was Damning.

     In Marriage of Kahdeman, Case No. B243812 (2d Dist., Div. 6 Aug. 28, 2013) (unpublished), ex-husband appealed a $3,000 award under Family Code section 271, contending that the lower court actually erroneously awarded it other Family Code provisions. The problem here is that appellant failed to provide a reporter’s transcript or settled statement of the hearing so that the judgment could be adequately reviewed. (Foust v. San Jose Const. Co., Inc., 198 Cal.App.4th 181, 186-187 (2011).) Fee award affirmed.

Link is to People v. Taylor, a "criminal threats" case. Hope that's not what the court's doing with sanctions these days...
