In re Marriage of Noghrey
California Court of Appeal
169 Cal. App. 3d 326, 215 Cal. Rptr. 153 (1985)
- Written by Maggy Gregory, JD
Facts
Kambiz Noghrey (defendant) and Farima Noghrey (plaintiff) entered into an antenuptial agreement on the day of their wedding. The agreement provided that in the event of a divorce, Kambiz would give Farima a house that he owned in Sunnyvale, California, as well as the greater of $500,000 or one-half of his assets. Seven-and-a-half months after their wedding, Farima filed for divorce, claiming the existence and terms of the written agreement and requesting that the terms be enforced. The trial court bifurcated the divorce hearing from the hearing on the validity of the antenuptial agreement. Although the physical agreement could not be located, the trial court heard evidence as to its existence, execution and terms. The trial court held that the agreement existed and was enforceable. Kambiz appealed.
