Marriage of Waldman and Clement CA2/7
Joan Waldman and Shawn Clement married in 2000 and separated in 2011. After protracted litigation Waldman and Clement agreed in January 2016 to terms for the division of their community assets, which were then read into the record before the family court. When the parties later disagreed on the meaning of a principal term of the settlement—the allocation of copyrights to music composed by Clement during the marriage—the family court ruled in favor of Clement and entered judgment pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 664.6 (section 664.6), with the further provision that Waldman could appeal the disputed copyright issue to this court. Because the record and governing law support Waldman’s position, we reverse.
