MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND
AUTHORITIES
1 MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITY
2 I. INTRODUCTION
3 Respondent Kanye West’s effort to impede Petitioner Kimberly Kardashian’s request to end
4 their marriage through the stratagem of demanding the Court impose onerous conditions not
5 sanctioned by Family Code Section 2337 should be rejected. Mr. West asserts without a scintilla of
6 evidence that terminating marital status based on the statutory protections found in Section 2337 does
7 not provide the “necessary protections.” He provides no such evidence, including in the form of a
8 declaration, because it is not true. Since filing for divorce, Mr. West, by his actions, has made it clear
9 that he does not accept that the parties’ marital relationship is over. Mr. West has disseminated on
10 social media the parties’ private communications and misinformation about personal family matters
11 and co-parenting, which has caused emotional distress. Terminating marital status should help Mr.
12 West to accept that the parties’ marital relationship is over and to move forward on a better path which
13 will assist in peacefully co-parenting the parties’ children. Delay in doing so will only create further
14 tension and anxiety.
15 Ms. Kardashian sought Mr. West’s agreement to bifurcating status before she filed her RFO,
16 and she continued to do so post-filing. Ms. Kardashian agreed to make certain changes to the Status-
17 Only Judgment requested by Mr. West’s counsel. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is the revised Status-
18 Only Judgment with those revisions that Ms. Kardashian now requests the Court enter.
19 Mr. West now demands three new conditions not sanctioned by Family Code Section 2337.
20 Mr. West has made no showing that any one of these three non-statutory conditions are necessary to
21 protect “his interests” or to protect “the status quo.” Nor could he. That is because the parties entered
22 into a Prenuptial Agreement that governs, inter alia, the character of their assets, debts, income, and
23 rights of reimbursement. (See Exhibit 2 hereto.)1 Mr. West should not be permitted -- in the guise of
24 imposing “conditions” on terminating status -- to rewrite the terms of the parties’ Prenuptial
25 Agreement. There are no community property assets or debts. Mr. West does not claim otherwise. The
26 parties’ Prenuptial Agreement plainly provides that (1) no community property shall be created during
27 1
To protect the parties’ financial privacy interests in their separate estates, the financial statements of each party attached
28 as exhibits A and B to the Prenuptial Agreement which are marked confidential, have been redacted for the purpose of this
RFO.

L.A.S.C. CASE NO. 21STFL01626 PA.Reply.docx
1 the marriage except in the manner set forth in the Agreement (to wit, real property taken in joint name

2 as community property 2) and (2) that all of Ms. Kardashian’s and all of Mr. West’s earnings,

3 compensation and income during the marriage shall each be their respective separate property. The

4 parties also expressly waived all Family Code Section 2640 reimbursement claims (except for two
5 specified reimbursement rights)3 and they agreed that in the absence of a written Separate Property

6 Reimbursement Agreement, any separate property contributions are deemed to be a gift.

7 Mr. West’s counsel represented to Ms. Kardashian’s counsel in writing in October 2021 that
8 to their knowledge, Mr. West has “no issue” with the validity of the Prenuptial Agreement, stating:
“I can assure you that, as far as we know, we know of no issue that our client has
9 regarding the validity of the PNA. So, there is nothing for us to say in that regard. But,
10 as you also know, we face challenges in communicating with our client – and the
validity of the prenup (with all of its related legal implications) is a heavy issue to
11 broach. If the goal is to obtain a status-only judgment expeditiously, I suggest that we
do what we can to minimize the need for legal explication. Removing paragraph D
12 accomplishes that. We can still bifurcate status and ratify the prenup later.”
13 No additional conditions are necessary to “protect” Mr. West’s property interests because there
14 is nothing to protect. There is no community property. There are no jointly titled assets.4 Ms.
15 Kardashian’s assets, all titled in her name or in the name of her revocable and irrevocable trusts and
16 entities, are her separate property, as agreed by the parties in their Prenuptial Agreement. The same is
17 true for Mr. West’s assets. Mr. West does not deny any of this in his responsive papers. In short, the
18 notion that he needs “protection” beyond the ATROs or statutory conditions while “all property issues
19 are resolved” is unsupported by any evidence and flies in the face of the parties’ Prenuptial Agreement.
20 Mr. West’s counsel’s bold statement that the parties’ Prenuptial Agreement is irrelevant does
21 not make it so, nor does Mr. West or his counsel explain why this is so. The legislative purpose of the
22 Family Code Section 2337 conditions is to protect a spouse who does not have access to and/or
23 knowledge of the assets and property held in the marital estate during their marriage and to ensure that
24 no financially adverse consequence will result from the early termination of the marital status. Those
25
2
The Prenuptial Agreement states that the only form of community property that can be created is if the parties purchase
26 real property in joint name as community property. This never happened.
3
The only reimbursement rights not waived were capital expenditures for jointly owned real property, of which there is
27 none, and capital expenditures, if any, regarding one piece of real property Ms. Kardashian owned at marriage.
4
They have one joint checking account that was used to pay for certain common living expenses and the children’s
28 expenses. Per the Prenuptial Agreement, all monies deposited by each into that bank account remain her/his separate
property. Upon divorce, the funds are to be distributed pro-rata based on their separate property contributions.

MARRIAGE OF WEST MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
L.A.S.C. CASE NO. 21STFL01626 PA.Reply.docx
1 concerns are not present here. Both parties entered the marriage with vast separate property estates.

2 Throughout the marriage, they maintained the separate property nature of their estates in accordance

3 with their Prenuptial Agreement. They are both independently wealthy. They kept their finances

4 separate. They did not jointly acquire any assets during marriage. They filed separate income tax

5 returns during marriage. They each had separate business managers, tax preparers, estate attorneys,

6 and business attorneys. The parties already negotiated and agreed upon the character of assets and

7 debts acquired during marriage, agreeing to keep their finances and estates separate, when they entered

8 into their Prenuptial Agreement in May 2014. This is the status quo.

9 Consistent with the Prenuptial Agreement, in Ms. Kardashian’s Petition for Dissolution of

10 Marriage and in Mr. West’s Response, each requested that the Court terminate the ability of either

11 party to receive spousal support5 and, both requested that the Court order that each party pay their own

12 attorneys’ fees in this dissolution matter.

13 It is black letter law that only “slight evidence” is necessary to obtain bifurcation whereas a
14 “spouse opposing bifurcation must present compelling reasons for denial.” Gionis v. Superior Court

15 (1988) 202 Cal.App.3d 786, 790. “Society will be little concerned if the parties engage in property

16 litigation of however long duration; it will be much concerned if two people are forced to remain
17 legally bound to one another where status can do nothing but engender additional bitterness and

18 unhappiness.” Hull v. Superior Court (1960) 54 Cal.2d 139, 147-48.

19 It is Mr. West’s “bitterness and unhappiness” that Ms. Kardashian seeks relief from. Ms.
20 Kardashian has met her burden. Mr. West has not. Mr. West submitted no declaration explaining why

21 the Court should not enter the Status-Only Judgment or providing the Court with any reason why his

22 additional, non-statutory conditions are necessary. Mr. West does not dispute the enforceability of the

23 parties’ Prenuptial Agreement. Mr. West does not assert that any community property was created

24 during the marriage, let alone that any community property or rights need to be protected beyond what

25 the ATROs and statutorily approved conditions already provide.

26 Ms. Kardashian acknowledges that the Court has the discretion to impose the statutory

27 conditions listed in the Family Code to the extent it deems them necessary. Ms. Kardashian has agreed

See Section 13 of the Prenuptial Agreement, Ex. 2.

1 to six of those statutory conditions. Ms. Kardashian has complied with Family Code Section 2337.

2 She served her Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure in compliance with Family Code Sections 2337

3 and 2104. Mr. West has failed and refused to serve his Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure. Ms.

4 Kardashian respectfully requests that her RFO be granted and status be terminated in accordance with

5 Exhibit 1 hereto.

6 II. MR. WEST HAS FAILED TO MEET THE COMPELLING EVIDENCE STANDARD

7 AND HAS FAILED TO MAKE ANY SHOWING OF PREJUDICE THAT WOULD RESULT
8 FROM THE ENTRY OF A STATUS-ONLY JUDGMENT

9 Mr. West offers no “compelling reasons” why the statutory conditions and ATROs do not offer
10 him sufficient “protection” pending resolution of the divorce. Here, there is nothing to protect given
11 the parties each have substantial separate property estates and no community property assets or debts.
12 This leads to the conclusion that Mr. West’s opposition to Ms. Kardashian’s request to be restored to
13 the status of a single person has little, if anything, to do with the propriety or sufficiency of the
14 approved conditions and everything to do with the fact that he does not want their marriage to end.
15 A. Mr. West’s Argument Regarding Proposed Orders for Ms. Kardashian’s
16 Retirement Plans is an Incorrect Statement of the Law.
17 Mr. West argues that because Ms. Kardashian did not provide additional proposed orders
18 regarding her retirement plans, bifurcation of status should be denied. His position is an incorrect
19 reading of the Judicial Council forms and Family Code Section 2337(d)(2). The order is contained in
20 the Judicial Council Form FL-347 itself. Family Code Section 2337(d)(2) states:
To preserve the claims of each spouse in all retirement plan benefits upon entry of
21
judgment granting a dissolution of the status of the marriage, the court shall enter one
22 of the following in connection with the judgment for each retirement plan in which
either party is a participant: … (B) An interim order preserving the nonemployee party's
23 right to retirement plan benefits, including survivor and death benefits, pending entry
of judgment on all remaining issues (emphasis added).
24
Form FL-347 corresponds with Family Code Section 2337(d)(2) and states:
25 THE COURT ORDERS: 3(a) To preserve the claims of each party in all retirement
26 plan benefits on entry of judgment granting a dissolution of the status of the marriage
or domestic partnership, the court makes one of the following orders for each
27 retirement plan in which either party is a participant: … (2) An interim order preserving
the nonemployee party's right to retirement plan benefits, including survivor and death
28 benefits, pending entry of judgment on all remaining issues. … (emphasis added).

1 Further, pursuant to the parties’ Prenuptial Agreement, Ms. Kardashian and Mr. West each

2 released, disclaimed, waived and relinquished all rights, claims or interests in the right to claim any

3 interest in property that is the subject of a non-probate transfer on death (Prenuptial Agreement, Ex.
4 2, Section 18.2(K).) In short, there is no compelling reason to impose this condition, nor has Mr. West
5 identified any actual harm that could possibly occur if the Court does not impose this condition given
6 the community has no interest in Ms. Kardashian’s assets and given both parties have already
7 contractually waived and released any right to claim any interest in any property that is the subject of
8 a non-probate transfer on death.
9 Family Code Section 2337 (c)(8) states:
In order to preserve the ability of the party to defer the distribution of the Individual
10
Retirement Account or annuity (IRA) established under Section 408 or 408A of the
11 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (IRC) upon the death of the other party,
the court may require that one-half, or all upon a showing of good cause, of the
12 community interest in any IRA, by or for the benefit of the party, be assigned and
transferred to the other party pursuant to Section 408(d)(6) of the Internal Revenue
13 Code. This paragraph does not limit the power granted pursuant to subdivision (g).
14 Mr. West argues that an order preserving “the community interest in any IRAs” is necessary.
15 But there is no community property interest in any IRA. Mr. West does not claim there is. The parties’
16 Prenuptial Agreement makes this abundantly clear:
17 “Kim and Kanye covenant and agree that any and all contributions by either Party
before or during the Parties' marriage to existing and/or future profit sharing plans,
18 pensions, IRAs, Keogh plans, and/or any other type of retirement plans or accounts, or
combinations thereof ("Retirement Plans"), plus any appreciation thereon, whether or
19 not arising out of or funded by either Party's separate property and whether or not
arising out of services performed during marriage, shall be that Party's sole and separate
20 property and the non-contributing Party and community waive any interest therein.
21 Each Party's interest as a participant in any Retirement Plans with respect to
contributions made before or during the Parties' marriage shall be the separate property
22 of that Party. Each Party shall have the sole right to select the form of benefits and
beneficiaries of all Retirement Plans. Each Party agrees that once they are married, they
23 will each execute any and all consents and other documents reasonably required to
permit the non-contributing Party to waive the right to receive qualified benefits and
24
for the contributing Party to select beneficiaries that do not include the other Party.
25 Each Party acknowledges and understands that the effect of such consent is to waive
and forfeit any spousal rights that she or he otherwise may have obtained in the other’s
26 Retirement Plans.” (Prenuptial Agreement, Ex. 2, Sections 6.8.)

27 Ms. Kardashian and Mr. West already contractually agreed that all pensions, retirement plans

28 and IRAs, including all contributions to same before and during their marriage, would remain their
-6-

1 separate property. Mr. West does not dispute this now. Mr. West asserts this condition should be

2 imposed “to maintain the parties’ financial status quo until all property issues have been resolved.”

3 The status quo is that Ms. Kardashian’s IRA is her separate property.
4 C. The Three Non-Statutory Conditions Mr. West Demands as a Condition of
5 Bifurcation Are Not “Just and Equitable” and Are Prejudicial to Ms. Kardashian.
6 Mr. West requests the Court impose three non-statutory conditions. None are just and
7 equitable. Mr. West provides no factual basis demonstrating why these non-statutory additional
8 conditions are necessary or just. This is not an extraordinary case requiring special conditions. Not
9 only do the conditions Mr. West demands go beyond what was contemplated by the Legislature, but
10 to allow them under the guise of Section 2337(c)(10) would serve to undermine the public policy in
11 favor of granting status-only judgments. The only thing that makes this case out of the ordinary is that
12 arguably no Section 2337 conditions are necessary to protect them and their estate because these
13 parties have already contracted that there is no community estate to divide.
14 1. Mr. West’s Family Code Section 2640 Reimbursement Condition.
15 Mr. West asks the Court to condition bifurcation on preserving his Section 2640 right of
16 reimbursement in the event either party dies before final judgment is rendered. The parties’ rights of
17 reimbursement -- and waiver of same -- are set forth in their Prenuptial Agreement. That Agreement
18 is valid and enforceable and remains in full force and effect despite entry of a status only judgment.
19 No “condition” is necessary. As set forth in their Prenuptial Agreement, with one exception related to
20 a piece of real property Ms. Kardashian owned before marriage, the parties expressly waived all rights
21 to any Section 2640 reimbursement claims unless they entered into a written Separate Property
22 Reimbursement Agreement. ((Prenuptial Agreement, Ex. 2, Section 6.5(d).6) There is no outstanding
23 Separate Property Reimbursement Agreement. In short, no right of reimbursement condition is
24 required because the Prenuptial Agreement already defines those reimbursement rights in detail.
25 2. Mr. West’s “No Transfers of Assets Out of Trust” or “Receipt of Benefits
26 from Trusts” by Ms. Kardashian Condition.
27 6
The only other reimbursement right not waived in the Prenuptial Agreement pertained to real property jointly acquired
28 by the parties as community property during marriage. No real property was jointly acquired during the marriage. Mr.
West does not claim otherwise.

L.A.S.C. CASE NO. 21STFL01626 PA.Reply.docx
1 Mr. West asserts that it “is not an extravagant request” to restrain Ms. Kardashian during the

2 pendency of this action from transferring any assets out of any trust and requiring her to “defer receipt

3 of any benefits or rights that occurs under a trust” as a result of status being terminated. In actuality,

4 this is an extravagantly overbroad and utterly prejudicial request that goes far beyond what the ATROS

5 provide, which violates the express terms of the Prenuptial Agreement and which, if granted, would

6 preclude Ms. Kardashian from conducting business, paying her bills and managing her financial affairs

7 during the pendency of this dissolution proceeding, to her great prejudice.

8 The Court should reject this non-statutory condition for all of the foregoing reasons.

9 First, as Mr. West knows full well, because this is detailed in Ms. Kardashian’s Preliminary

10 Declaration of Disclosure served last year, Ms. Kardashian owns multiple parcels of real property in

11 trusts, holds title to her various checking and brokerage accounts in trusts, holds substantial insurance

12 assets in an irrevocable insurance trust, and owns significant business interests in revocable and

13 irrevocable trusts (all of which revocable trusts are 100% in her name and of which she is the sole

14 trustor).7 All of the assets in the revocable trusts and all of the income therefrom are Ms. Kardashian’s

15 separate property. Mr. West does not claim otherwise. The Prenuptial Agreement so provides. If Ms.

16 Kardashian was now precluded from transferring “any asset” out of any trusts and if she was required
17 to “defer receipt” of any benefits under her trusts until there is a final judgment, she would be

18 effectively precluded from conducting business, taking revenues into income and otherwise paying

19 her personal and business obligations and bills. This would be an outlandish and prejudicial result.
20 Second, Mr. West cites no authority sanctioning such an overbroad and unprecedented

21 condition. There is no such authority.

22 Third, this condition goes far beyond the scope of the ATROs, which permits parties to make

23 transfers in the ordinary course of business and for the necessities of life. This condition is absolute

24 on its face. It precludes all transfers out of any trust, no matter the purpose, necessity, or reason.

25 Fourth, Mr. West makes no showing that any asset in any of Ms. Kardashian’s trusts is

26 community property or that the community has any interest in same. Mr. West does not because there

27 7
Notably, Mr. West’s condition does not distinguish between revocable and irrevocable trusts, which only makes the
28 condition more onerous and inequitable since Mr. West has no ownership interest in assets placed by Ms. Kardashian in
irrevocable trusts.

1 Mr. West that the statutory marital privileges are somehow less important than any parenting issues

2 that may arise in this action to require their forced waiver.

3 Clearly, the Legislature did not see the necessity of including the forced waiver of marital

4 privileges as a condition to terminating marital status. That there may be minor children and may be

5 “parenting” issues in a dissolution action is certainly not a unique circumstance. Custody issues could

6 be present in every case where a court terminates marital status of a party with minor children. The

7 Legislature set forth a number of specific conditions courts may impose in granting bifurcation. The

8 fact that the Legislature did not include waiver of marital privileges upon remarriage as a condition is

9 a very good indication that the Legislature would not consider such conditions to be “just and

10 equitable,” absent a showing distinguishing this case from every other case involving bifurcation and

11 minor children. Mr. West fails to assert why this dissolution case is different from all other cases where

12 a court terminates the parties’ marital status prior to resolution of all other issues, including custody.

13 Finally, Mr. West is requesting that the Court make orders affecting a third party (some

14 possible future spouse) who is not before this Court. Mr. West cites this Court to no authority that

15 authorizes a court to require the waiver of marital privileges of a person not a party to the action and

16 without notice to same. To order Ms. Kardashian as a condition of remarriage to obtain a waiver of all

17 marital privileges under Evidence Code Sections 970, 971 and 980 is an unwarranted intrusion of Ms.

18 Kardashian’s right to remarry and appears punitive at a bare minimum.

19 III. CONCLUSION

20 Petitioner respectfully requests that the Court terminate the parties’ marital status, subject to

21 the conditions set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto, or upon such other conditions that the Court finds are just

22 and equitable.

KARDASHIAN WEST
1 REPLY DECLARATION OF KIMBERLY KARDASHIAN WEST

2 I, Kimberly Kardashian West, hereby declare as follows:

3 1. I am the Petitioner in this matter. I have personal knowledge of the following facts,

4 and if called upon, I could and would testify competently under oath thereto.

5 2. I submit this Declaration in support of my Reply to my Request for an Order

6 bifurcating and terminating the status of my marriage to Respondent Kanye West (hereafter

7 “Kanye”).

8 3. I very much desire to be divorced. I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private,

9 but he has not done so. Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family

10 matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress. I believe that the

11 Court terminating our marital status will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over

12 and to move forward on a better path which will assist us in peacefully co-parenting our children.

13 4. Before we married, in May 2014 Kanye and I entered into a prenuptial agreement.

14 We were both represented by our own counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of

15 our Prenuptial Agreement. (A true and correct copy of our Prenuptial Agreement is attached hereto

16 and marked as Exhibit 2.) I have redacted the financial statements attached as Exhibits A and B to

17 our Prenuptial Agreement in order to protect my and Kanye’s financial privacy interests.

18 5. Both Kanye and I came into the marriage with significant separate property estates.

19 We each wanted to protect our premarital assets and the earnings from those assets and any

20 appreciation in the value of our premarital assets during our marriage. Our Prenuptial Agreement so

21 recites.

22 6. Kanye and I also discussed and agreed that during our marriage that his earnings,

23 compensation and income would remain his separate property and that my earnings, compensation

24 and income would remain my separate property. Our Prenuptial Agreement memorializes this

25 agreement.

26 7. Kanye and I also agreed that during our marriage that all assets and property that I

27 acquired would be my separate property and that assets and property he acquired would be his

28

L.A.S.C. CASE NO. 21STFL01626 Dec.KKW.Reply.docx
1 separate property, with one exception. Section 7.8 of our Prenuptial Agreement states that if Kanye

2 and I purchase real property during our marriage and take title to the property in our joint names as

3 community property, we agree that the property will be characterized as community property.

4 Kanye and I never acquired any real property jointly titled in both our names as community property

5 during our marriage.

6 8. Kanye and I have no community property or debts. We did not jointly acquire any

7 assets or property during our marriage. Assets I acquired are in my name, the name of my trusts or in

8 the name of businesses that I own. Pursuant to our Prenuptial Agreement, those assets are my

9 separate property. Assets that Kanye acquired during our marriage are in his name, his trusts or in

10 the name of businesses that he owns. Those assets are Kanye’s separate property under our

11 Prenuptial Agreement. Our “status quo” now and throughout our marriage is that his assets and

12 debts are his separate property and my assets and debts are my separate property. There is no

13 community property or community interest in any assets, including in my retirement accounts or

14 IRA account, to “protect.”

15 9. We also expressly waived all Family Code Section 2640 reimbursement claims

16 (except for two specified reimbursement rights1) and agreed that in the absence of a written Separate

17 Property Reimbursement Agreement (the form of which is Exhibit C to our Prenuptial Agreement),

18 any separate property contributions made by either Kanye or me to the other’s separate property

19 would be deemed to be a gift. There are no outstanding Separate Property Reimbursement


20 Agreements.

21 10. Since entering into our Prenuptial Agreement in May 2014, Kanye and I have lived

22 by the terms of our Prenuptial Agreement and our desire to keep our financial affairs and business

23 interests separate. We did not create any community property during our marriage. During our

24
25
26
27 1
The only reimbursement rights not waived by Kanye and me were capital expenditures for jointly owned
real property, of which there is none, and capital expenditures, if any, regarding one piece of real property I
28
owned at marriage.

1 13. While I wish our marriage would have succeeded, I have come to the realization that
2 there is no way to repair our marriage. Kanye does not agree but at least it appears that he has come

3 to the realization that I want to end our marriage, even if he does not. I ask that the Court restore me

L.A.S.C. CASE NO. 21STFL01626 Dec.KKW.Reply.docx
DECLARATION OF
LAURA A. WASSER, ESQ.
1 DECLARATION OF LAURA A. WASSER, ESQ.

2 I, Laura A. Wasser, hereby declare as follows:

3 1. I am an attorney at law duly licensed to practice before all courts of the State of

4 California, and am a partner at Wasser, Cooperman & Mandles, P.C., attorneys of record for Petitioner

5 Kimberly Kardashian. I have personal knowledge of the following facts, and if called as a witness, I

6 could and would competently testify thereto.

7 2. I submit this Declaration in support of Ms. Kardashian’s Reply to her Request for Order

8 for Bifurcation and the Termination of the Parties’ Marital Status.

9 3. Our office has attempted to resolve the issue of terminating the parties’ marital status

10 since October 2021. Even after we filed the instant motion, we continued to meet and confer with

11 opposing counsel. Ms. Kardashian has even agreed to include additional statutory provisions not

12 previously contained in her proposed Status-Only Judgment (namely inclusion of retirement plans) in

13 an effort to settle this matter out of court. However, every time we agree to include an additional

14 requested condition, another one is requested by Respondent Kanye West.

15 4. To move this matter forward, Ms. Kardashian has agreed to revise the FL-347 form to

16 include a list of her separate property retirement plans and has agreed that all Family Code Section

17 2337 conditions will be imposed on her unilateral instead of mutually on both parties as originally

18 requested in her moving papers. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is the amended Status-Only Judgment

19 with the agreed to revisions that Ms. Kardashian now requests the Court enter.

20 5. Furthermore, we have provided opposing counsel with all of the documents they have

21 requested in connection with Ms. Kardashian’ Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure. To date, Mr.

22 West has not served his Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure, which is now long overdue.

23 6. Ironically, it was opposing counsel who first reached out to our office regarding

24 stipulating to a Status-Only Judgment.

25 7. On October 18, 2021, Christopher Melcher, Esq., counsel for Mr. West, emailed our

26 office stating, “I heard there’s an interest in a status-only judgment? Steve and I are available to

27 discuss.” I responded that we were drafting the Status-Only Judgment (A true and correct copy of the

28 email chain between opposing counsel and our office is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit 3.

1 Please note, this email chain has been broken up and attached as Exhibits 3-7 for ease of reading and

2 reference. No part of the email chain is omitted.)

3 8. The following day, our office sent opposing counsel the Status-Only Judgment for their

4 review and comment. In our proposed Status-Only Judgment, we checked six of the listed conditions

5 on FL-347 and asked that they be applied to each party mutually. We did not request that the Court

6 impose the conditions listed at 5.g. and 5.h because we did not believe they were applicable in this

7 case. We also included an attachment to the Status-Only Judgment that confirmed that the parties

8 entered into a valid and enforceable prenuptial agreement. (A true and correct copy of the proposed

9 Status-Only Judgment is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit 4.)

10 9. The next day, October 20, 2021, opposing counsel sent our office their substantive

11 comments to the Status-Only Judgment. One of the requested changes was as follows: “At page 1,

12 lines 17-28, paragraph D, please delete. This paragraph discusses the parties’ PMA and various

13 agreements/documents they’ve signed (at least one of which we do not have). For purposes of a status-

14 only judgment, it is not necessary to ratify everything at this time. We just want to do the bare

15 minimum to get the parties divorced.” Additionally, given that the parties had not exchanged

16 Preliminary Declarations of Disclosure at this time and were stipulating to a later service date,

17 opposing counsel asked that we inform them of any retirement plans that Ms. Kardashian had. (A true

18 and correct copy of opposing counsel’s email is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit 5.)

19 10. That same day, I responded to opposing counsel that we would make these changes. I

20 also informed opposing counsel that the only requested change we saw as problematic was the

21 ratification of the parties’ prenuptial agreement. I advised that if Mr. West had an issue with the

22 validity of the prenuptial agreement, we would like to know now. (A true and correct copy of the

23 email chain with opposing counsel is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit 6.)

24 11. That same day, opposing counsel responded as follows: “I can assure you that, as far

25 as we know, we know of no issue that our client has regarding the validity of the PNA. So, there

26 is nothing for us to say in that regard. . . . If the goal is to obtain a status-only judgment expeditiously,

27 I suggest that we do what we can to minimize the need for legal explication. Removing paragraph D

28 accomplishes that. We can still bifurcate status and ratify the prenup later.” (See Exhibit 6.)

1 conditions that were requested were mutually applied to both parties. I responded the following day,

2 informing opposing counsel that we agreed to move forward with the stipulated Status-Only Judgment.

3 (A true and correct copy of the email chain is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit 9.)

4 18. We never received the stipulated Status-Only Judgment executed by Mr. West.

5 19. On January 18, 2022, after having a phone call with Mr. Melcher, our office sent him

6 an email asking that he provide our office with a list of any administrative/procedural issues or

7 concerns they had with the proposed stipulated Status-Only Judgment.

8 20. As stated in the Declaration of Cynthia Ponce, Esq., included in Mr. West’s Response,

9 our office received a letter from opposing counsel addressing “procedural issues” that they had with

10 our proposed Status-Only Judgment. The issues addressed in the letter had never been raised by

11 opposing counsel previously. In an effort to compromise and hopefully resolve all issues related to the

12 Status-Only Judgment, we agreed to make all of their requested changes, despite the fact that it was

13 our position that none of them applied in this matter. However, even after we made all the requested
14 changes, we received another letter from opposing counsel requesting additional, non-statutory

15 conditions that went far beyond what is standard and necessary. It became apparent that there would

16 be no settlement of the issue and that a hearing would be necessary.


17 21. As discussed in the Memorandum of Points and Authorities served concurrently

18 herewith, Ms. Kardashian does not agree with Mr. West’s position that her motion must be denied

19 because she did not provide additional proposed orders regarding her retirement plans. While Ms.
20 Kardashian maintains her position that Mr. West’s assertion is an incorrect reading of the Judicial

21 Council forms and Family Code Section 2337(d)(2) and that the order is already contained in the FL-

22 347 form itself, in the event that the Court believes additional orders are necessary, attached hereto as

23 Exhibit 10 is Ms. Kardashian’s proposed additional order for Section 3.a.2 of the FL-347 form.

24 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing

25 is true and correct. Executed the 23rd day of February, 2022, at Los Angeles, California.

ATTACHMENT TO 
X JUDGMENT (FL-180)  FINDINGS AND ORDER AFTER HEARING (FL-340)
The court grants the request of  X petitioner  respondent to bifurcate and grant a separate trial on the issue of the
dissolution of the status of the marriage or domestic partnership apart from other issues.

Date marital or domestic partnership status ends (specify):

THE COURT FINDS

1. A preliminary declaration of disclosure with a completed schedule of assets and debts and income and expense declaration has
been served on the nonmoving party, or the parties have stipulated in writing to defer service of the preliminary declaration of
disclosure until a later time.

2. Each retirement or pension plan of the parties has been joined as a party to the proceeding for dissolution unless joinder is
precluded or made unnecessary by applicable law.

THE COURT ORDERS

3. a. To preserve the claims of each party in all retirement plan benefits on entry of judgment granting a dissolution of the status of
the marriage or domestic partnership, the court makes one of the following orders for each retirement plan in which either party
is a participant:

(1) A final domestic relations order or qualified domestic relations order under Family Code section 2610 disposing of each
party's interest in retirement plan benefits, including survivor and death benefits.
(2) An interim order preserving the nonemployee party's right to retirement plan benefits, including survivor and death benefits,
pending entry of judgment on all remaining issues.
(3) A provisional order on Pension Benefits—Attachment to Judgment (form FL-348) incorporated as an attachment to the
judgment of dissolution of the status of marriage or domestic partnership (Judgment (Family Law) (form FL-180)). This
order provisionally awards to each party a one-half interest in all retirement benefits attributable to employment during the
marriage or domestic partnership.

Until judgment has been entered on all remaining issues and has become final, the 

provide and maintain health and medical insurance coverage that is comparable to the existing health and medical insurance
coverage to the extent it is available.

If that coverage is not available, the X petitioner  respondent is responsible for paying the health and medical
care for the other party and the minor children to the extent that care would have been covered by the existing insurance
coverage but for the dissolution of marital status or domestic partnership, and will otherwise indemnify and hold the other party
harmless from any adverse consequences resulting from the loss or reduction of the existing coverage. "Health and medical
insurance coverage" includes any coverage under any group or individual health or other medical plan, fund, policy, or program.

c. 
X Probate homestead
Until judgment has been entered on all remaining issues and has become final, the  X petitioner  respondent

severance is granted.

d. 
X Probate family allowance
Until judgment has been entered on all remaining issues and has become final, the X petitioner  respondent
must indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any adverse consequences to the other party if the bifurcation results in
the loss of the rights of the other party to a probate family allowance as the surviving spouse or surviving domestic partner.

e. 
X Retirement benefits
Except for any retirement plan, fund, or arrangement identified in any order issued and attached as set out in paragraph 3, until
judgment has been entered on all remaining issues and has become final, the 
X petitioner  respondent must
indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any adverse consequences to the other party if the bifurcation results in the
loss of the other party's rights with respect to any retirement, survivor, or deferred compensation benefits under any plan, fund,
or arrangement, or to any elections or options associated with them, to the extent that the other party would have been entitled
to those benefits or elections as the spouse or surviving spouse or the domestic partner or surviving domestic partner of the
moving party.

f. 
X Social security benefits
The moving party must indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any adverse consequences if the bifurcation results in

Hi Chris and Steve,


Yes, I hear the same. We are drafting the Status Only Judgment. I’m in a settlement conference today and will try you if
we have a break. I’m trying to figure out the best way to get it entered wot the court. We could engage a private Judge
to sign off and then just file with Mosk. Or maybe we take it in to the department or to Riff and ask for some assistance
based on the media.

NOTICE
Dissolution or legal separation may automatically cancel the rights of a spouse or domestic partner under the other spouse's or
domestic partner's will, trust, retirement plan, power of attorney, pay-on-death bank account, transfer-on-death vehicle registration,
survivorship rights to any property owned in joint tenancy, and any other similar property interest. It does not automatically cancel the
rights of a spouse or domestic partner as beneficiary of the other spouse's or domestic partner's life insurance policy. You should
review these matters, as well as any credit cards, other credit accounts, insurance policies, retirement plans, and credit reports, to
determine whether they should be changed or whether you should take any other actions.
A debt or obligation may be assigned to one party as part of the dissolution of property and debts, but if that party does not pay the
debt or obligation, the creditor may be able to collect from the other party.
An earnings assignment may be issued without additional proof if child, family, partner, or spousal support is ordered.
Any party required to pay support must pay interest on overdue amounts at the "legal rate," which is currently 10 percent.

23 Temporary Restraining Orders set forth in the Summons and in the Family Code remain in full force

24 and effect pending a final judgment on all reserved issues.

Thank you, Laura. I can assure you that, as far as we know, we know of no issue that our client has regarding the validity
of the PNA. So, there is nothing for us to say in that regard. But, as you also know, we face challenges in communicating
with our client – and the validity of the prenup (with all of its related legal implications) is a heavy issue to broach. If the
goal is to obtain a status-only judgment expeditiously, I suggest that we do what we can to minimize the need for legal
explication. Removing paragraph D accomplishes that. We can still bifurcate status and ratify the prenup later.

Good catch re Judge Cochran/Judge Gordon. No objections there.

Steve,
We will begin to make these changes. The only one I see as problematic is the ratification of the parties’ PNA in
paragraph D on page 1. If your client has an issue with the validity of the PNA we would like to know now.
Additionally, I note the Judge Cochran’s name is on the bottom of the stipulation regarding amen dment to pleadings and
change of case name. My understanding was that we agreed to have Judge Gordon appointed in order to expedite the
entry of the status only Judgment. This document should be revised and can be submitted and executed by Judge
Gordon just prior to the Judgment documents.

Dear Ashley,

Thank you for preparing these.

First, as you know, Kanye changed his name to Ye. So, as a housekeeping matter, we prepared a stipulation changes the
case name to “Kimberly Kardashian West v. Ye.” Please see attached and let us know if you have any
edits/comments. For consistency’s sake, please change all of the forms so that Respondent’s name is Ye.

As for our substantive comments:


 On the FL-180, page 2, section 4.i., the children’s names and birthdates should be listed in the interest of
completeness.
 On the FL-347, page 1, section 3, please let us know if there are any retirement plans that should be
listed. Chris, Laura, and I discussed this on our last call together, and none of us were sure if any such plans
existed. I believe Laura was going to look into it further.
 At page 1, lines 15-16, paragraph C, please delete: “as a result of which they separated on December 26,
2020.” For purposes of a status-only judgment, it is not necessary to commit to a date of separation at this
time. (And, in any event, we are unsure of what the actual date of separation is.)
 At page 1, lines 17-28, paragraph D, please delete. This paragraph discusses the parties’ PMA and various
agreements/documents they’ve signed (at least one of which we do not have). For purposes of a status-only
judgment, it is not necessary to ratify everything at this time. We just want to do the bare minimum to get the
parties divorced.
 At page 2, line 5, paragraph F, please change “Each of the Parties resided” to “Petitioner resided”.
 At page 2, line 27, paragraph L, please change “discussed” to “discussed or had an opportunity to discuss”.

Sincerely,
Steve

Re: Marriage of West

Counsel:

As it appears that your client is unwilling to participate in the assignment of a retired


Judicial Officer or respond regarding our client’s request for a bifurcation of the parties’ marital
status, it is unfortunately necessary that our office file Kim’s Motion to Bifurcate Martial Status
with the court downtown.

Attached herewith is the service copies of our client’s Preliminary Declaration of


Disclosure. We will be filing and serving our Motion to Bifurcate Martial Status on Monday,
November 29, 2021. As a professional courtesy, I wanted to provide you with notice of our
filing in the event you are able to prevail upon your client that this could be handled more
privately and efficiently, provided he is willing to reasonably resolve these simple and mostly
administrative issues.

Sincerely,

LAURA A. WASSER
