Indiana Supreme Court

Steven Norris v. Jennifer Norris
No. 25S-DR-226

Civil. Appeal from the Marion Superior Court, Judge Alicia A. Gooden. Affirms the trial court’s order declining to award damages to an ex-husband who alleged his ex-wife’s failure to pay a joint loan under their divorce settlement harmed his credit. Holds the trial court did not clearly err in finding the claimed damages speculative and unsupported because the husband offered little corroborating evidence linking the unpaid loan to his alleged financial losses. Also holds the trial court lacked jurisdiction to issue a revised order implementing a Court of Appeals opinion while the appeal remained pending and before that opinion was certified, rendering the revised order void. Chief Justice Rush authored the opinion. Justices Massa, Slaughter, Goff, and Molter concur. Appellant’s attorneys: Denise F. Hayden and Jessica S. Lacy, Lacy Law Office, LLC. Appellee’s attorney: Nicole A. Zelin, Pritzke & Davis, LLP.
