Walker v. Walker
Facts:
A husband and wife filed cross-complaints for divorce,
and the Prince William court ordered the husband to pay pendente lite child
support and alimony and to make payments on the marital home. The husband failed
to make the payments and attempted to conceal his assets, and the trial court
barred him from filing any motions with the court until he personally appeared
in court and posted a $ 25,000 bond. After the husband and wife were divorced,
a receiver was appointed to pay claims against a corporation the husband owned,
and the receiver paid the wife $ 432,390 on her claims for unpaid alimony and
child support. After the wife was paid, the husband sought permission from the
trial court to file a motion seeking an order crediting payments the receiver
made to his wife to a support arrearage account, but he did not post a bond
when he filed his motion, and the trial court denied the motion and sanctioned
the husband's attorney by imposing a $ 2,500 fine. The appellate court held
that (1) the trial court's order denying the husband's motion for permission to
file a motion did not deny the husband due process of law; and (2) the order
imposing sanctions was not arbitrary or capricious.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Va. Code Ann. §
8.01-271.1 provides that if a pleading or motion violates its provisions,
a court, upon motion or upon its own initiative, shall impose upon the
person who signed the paper or made the motion, a represented party, or
both, an appropriate sanction, which may include an order to pay to the
other party or parties the amount of the reasonable expenses incurred
because of the filing of the pleading, motion, or other paper or making of
the motion, including a reasonable attorney's fee. In reviewing a trial
court's award of sanctions under § 8.01-271.1, the Court of Appeals of
Virginia applies an abuse of discretion standard. A court's ability to
punish a litigant for noncompliance with its orders is essential to the
proper administration of the law, to enable courts to enforce their
orders, judgments, and decrees.
