2010-267-A.,  Jo-An Krivitsky v. Brian Krivitsky                                           (show cause)
2010-415-A.

The defendant appeals pro se from Family Court orders authorizing the commissioner in this action to sell his real property.  The defendant contends that the Family Court did not have jurisdiction to enter the orders in question because this Court had stayed the action.  The defendant also contends that one of the orders was improperly entered by a Family Court magistrate who had recused himself from the action.  The defendant additionally argues that the Family Court judge misconstrued a Family Court order as permitting the commissioner to sell the defendant’s property.  The defendant further asserts that the Family Court judge had no basis for ordering his property sold at a certain price and failed to address the amount of the defendant’s child support arrearage prior to ordering the sale of the property.

2010-182-A. Michael D. Bloschichak v. Dianne F. Bloschichak                    (show cause)

The plaintiff appeals from a post-judgment order, granting the defendant’s motion to compel enforcement of a marital property settlement agreement (PSA), and ordering plaintiff to pay defendant a sum equal to the benefits she would have received, plus arrearage, if defendant had retired on the first date he was first eligible to do so. The plaintiff also appeals from the denial of his motion to vacate.  On appeal, the plaintiff argues that the hearing justice erred in failing to consider the equities in regard to defendant’s income and expenses, given that the record did not establish defendant’s ability to pay the arrearage, and further alleges that defendant’s counsel at the time of the entry of the divorce decree “was paid unethically and against the ethics code by both parties.”
