Marriage of Kahn
In 1987, upon the dissolution of marriage between Mary Kay Gahn and Gary Ronald Gahn, their marital settlement agreement (MSA) provided that Gahn would buy Rule's interest in their residence for $15,000, and Rule would execute a transfer of the residence to Gahn upon receipt of $10,000. Gahn failed to pay Rule in full, and he never received the deed. In 2004, Gahn filed an action in superior court seeking to quiet title. The court transferred the case to the family court, which enforced the original MSA.
Gahn contends: (1) the superior court erred in transferring his civil complaint to the family court; (2) the family court deprived him of his constitutional and statutory right to a jury trial; (3) Rule's motion to enforce the MSA was time-barred by Family Code, section 291; and (4) the family court erred in awarding Rule attorney fees. Court affirm the order dated July 28, 2005.
