Indiana Court of Appeals Courtroom, Room 413, State House, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204
Cheryl and Thomas Weird filed an action for personal injuries and loss of consortium in Clark Circuit Court, Indiana. The parties eventually settled, resulting in an award to the Weirds. The Weirds' counsel filed a motion to interplead the settlement funds in the amount of $74,575.08 due to the Weirds' failure to reach an agreement regarding the distribution of the funds. In December of 2005, the Jefferson Circuit Court of Kentucky entered a judgment in favor of Eric Emberton and against Thomas Weird in the amount of $100,000.00. On May 18, 2006, Emberton filed a copy of his Kentucky judgment with the Clark Circuit Court and sought to have the interpleaded funds released to him. In June of 2006, the Jefferson Circuit Court of Kentucky dissolved the Weirds' marriage and awarded Cheryl Weird the entirety of the settlement award. Upon Cheryl Weird's motion for summary judgment and Emberton's cross-motion for summary judgment, the Clark Circuit Court awarded the remaining interpleaded funds to Emberton. Cheryl Weird now appeals.
The Scheduled Panel Members are Judges Darden, Robb and Mathias.
