This is a hard case to decide against the appellant, although there is no doubt in my mind that the law compels affirmance. It is the latest of many cases filed in our state courts in which the biological father seeks to establish his paternity to a child born into a marriage between the child's mother and another man. Indeed, this is the second time Mr. Pena has filed suit in an effort to try to

We grant the appellee’s motion for rehearing, withdraw our former opinion dated October 3, 2012, and substitute the following opinion in its stead.

Appellant Roland Scott Arnell1 appeals the trial court’s Order on Petition for Registration and Enforcement of Support Orders and Order for Turnover in favor of his former wife, Monika Elizabeth Arnell.

Joe C. Medellin, Jr. appeals the trial court’s order dismissing his petition in the underlying cause for lack of jurisdiction. Because we hold the trial court had jurisdiction to consider the petition, we reverse the trial court’s order and remand the cause for further proceedings.

Appellant Bryan L. Walter filed a motion for rehearing of our opinion issued June 27, 2013. We grant the motion in part, withdraw our previous opinion and judgment of June 27, 2013, and substitute the following.

Heather Ann Worthington, the Former Wife, challenges the trial court's order amending or modifying the final judgment of dissolution of marriage and the order denying her motion for rehearing. We reverse the portion of the order modifying the timesharing arrangement because it exceeds the scope of the relief requested in the motions that were noticed for and addressed at the hearing below.

William and Anne Pfeifer asserted claims for negligence, strict liability, and loss of consortium against John Crane, Inc. (JCI), alleging that its asbestos-laden products caused William Pfeifer’s mesothelioma. During the trial, the court rejected JCI’s proffered instructions regarding its “sophisticated user” defense, and directed a verdict on the defense. After the jury

Are the proceeds of a term life policy community property or separate property of the spouse who pays the final premium? Our answer is an all too familiar one: it depends. We hold that the characterization “will depend on the … premium for the final term of the policy.” (Minnesota Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. Ensley (9th Cir. 1999) 174 F.3d 977, 983 (Minnesota Mut. Life Ins. Co.).) The

This appeal arises from a divorce proceeding. Appellant, Billy George Kemp (Bill), contends that the trial court erred by granting the divorce on the ground of cruelty; by awarding trial and appellate attorney’s fees to Appellee, Sharon Anne Kemp (Anne); by ordering him solely responsible for the parties’ federal income tax liabilities; by granting an owelty lien for the money awarde

When, more than six months after the dismissal of their lawsuit for want of prosecution, Anita and Jonathan Saint1 learned of the suit’s dismissal, they filed a bill of review proceeding in an attempt to get their suit back on track.

Appellant Scott Schoenlank appeals the portion of the final judgment which denies his motion for attorney’s fees under the prevailing party provision of his marital settlement agreement.

Michael L. Hirsch, the Former Husband, appeals a final judgment dissolving his marriage to Lillie Kay Hirsch, the Former Wife.

Joseph Hevey, in his capacity as co-trustee of the Will Slip 2011 Trust, appeals the trial court’s order dismissing Trust claims related to a marriage that occurred thirty-six years ago between Dale C.

¶1 This case arises out of prolonged and complicated divorce proceedings. Dennis Goggin (Dennis) and Tamara Goggin (Tammy) separated in 2005, ending a marriage that had lasted approximately ten years.
