and the record below, we conclude that the ruling and orders mentioned below 
should be affirmed on the basis of, and for the reasons assigned in, the Family 
Court’s March 1, 2016 bench ruling denying the appellant’s motion for advanced 
attorneys’ fees and its May 31, 2016 order finding the appellant in contempt.

arguments concerning the Family Court’s March 14, 2017 order finding her in

contempt, to the extent that she is, those arguments depend for their validity on her 
challenge to the May 31, 2016 order, which, by this Order, we affirm. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the Family Court’s March 1, 
2016 bench ruling, May 31, 2016 contempt order, and March 14, 2017 contempt 
order be AFFIRMED.
