In McCoy v. McCoy,
55 Va. App. 524, 687 S.E.2d 82 (1/12/10), the Court of Appeals says that once
this appeal had been noted, the trial court then lacked jurisdiction to vacate,
on husband’s motion, its own prior order holding husband in contempt. The way the husband got held in contempt
was failing to provide the wife with health insurance that was called for in
their separation agreement.
Husband argued that it was really a form of alimony, which should have
terminated when the wife remarried, but the Court of Appeals disagrees.
