Richart v. Richart
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided April 2, 1985
688 S.W.2d 804; 1985 Mo. App. LEXIS 3145 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Richart v. Richart

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an order by the circuit court holding appellant in civil contempt and ordering him to sell certain real estate he claimed as a homestead.

A civil contempt order is not a final judgment for purposes of appeal until the court’s order is enforced by actual incarceration of the contemnor. Since the con*805tempt order has not been enforced, appellant’s appeal is dismissed as premature.
