Heading: Sam's Cross-Motion For Order To Show Cause

Text: When he opposed Kathleen's show-cause motion, Sam cross-moved for an order requiring her to show cause why she should not be held in contempt for willful violation of the court orders requiring her to file an accounting of the personal property in her possession [from] the Azalea residence. The cross-motion also argued that if Kathleen did not give him those items, their value should be offset against the retirement payments awarded to Kathleen. Kathleen opposed the cross-motion and, after Sam replied, the superior court denied the cross-motion without explanation. The court also denied Sam's motion to reconsider the denial. We elaborate on the parties' superior court arguments in Part III.B, which addresses Sam's argument that it was error to deny his cross-motion.
