Paulson v. Paulson — Expert Exclusion Was Harmless and Premarital Agreement Could Not Bar Statutory Attorney Fees in High-Asset Divorce
The Utah Court of Appeals reversed an expert exclusion and attorney fees denial in a high-asset divorce arising from a California-law premarital agreement, holding that a technically deficient expert disclosure was harmless where the disclosing party promptly provided a full report and offered deposition access, and that a premarital agreement’s separate-property clause cannot waive a spouse’s right to attorney fees under Utah Code § 81-1-203(1).
