Gregory, Justice
(concurring in part and dissenting in part) :
Respondent’s behavior as a defendant in a contested divorce action prompted this disciplinary proceeding.
I agree with the majority opinion that removal of furnishing from the marital residence in violation of a court order and the subsequent failure to purge himself of this contempt evidences and supports a finding of misconduct.
Since respondent was not actively engaged in the practice of law,1 plus the personal involvement in the divorce proceedings, I differ with the sanction ordered by the majority opinion.
In my view a private reprimand would suffice and is the more appropriate disciplinary sanction to be imposed against the respondent.

 Respondent had been employed as agent for a title insurance company.
