Description
This appeal arises from a divorce case pending in the Circuit Court of Harrison County, West Virginia. The Appellant, Patsy Samuel Trecost, II, challenges his conviction of criminal contempt for willful violation of an order relating to conditions of visitation with the infant child of the Appellant and the Appellee, Christie D. Trecost. The Appellant raises several issues, the central issue being the propriety of permitting a partys private counsel in a civil proceeding to prosecute a charge of indirect criminal contempt arising from that proceeding. We conclude that the circuit court erred in permitting the Appellant to be prosecuted by the Appellees private attorney. Accordingly, we reverse.
