Finds Margie Smith was not in contempt. Also Finds Joseph Smith is entitled to at least a portion of the additional pension payments Margie Smith received. Finally, finds Margie breached the settlement agreement to a greater extent than the trial court determined, and Joseph Smith is entitled to an award of appellate attorney’s fees pursuant to the indemnification clause. Remands for the calculation of attorney’s fees. Judge Patricia Riley concurs in part and concurs in result in part with separate opinion. Judge Edward Najam concurs in part and dissents in part with separate opinion.

Paula Adams v. Shadrach Gonqueh and Amazing Family Dental, P.C. d/b/a Amazing Family Dental (mem. dec.)
49A05-1702-CT-349
Civil tort. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s decision that Paula Adams was not entitled to relief pursuant to Indiana Trial Rule 60(B) and that its grant of summary judgment to Dr. Shadrach Gonqueh and Amazing Family Dental was a final order as it related to Adams. Finds the trial court did not err in denying relief to Adams. Also finds the case does not present such extraordinary circumstances that a dramatic deviation from the 30-day deadline to appeal a final judgment should be permitted.
