Kinnison v. Kinnison

ROSE, Chief Justice.

This appeal has as its genesis the breakup of a nonmarital living arrangement. The district court awarded the plaintiff, Lorena Kinnison, $15,000 by way of enforcing a settlement contract with the defendant, Allan Kinnison. Mr. Kinnison has appealed, claiming that there was no express contract of settlement and, further, that Wyoming law prohibits an award upon the dissolution of a nonmarital relationship.

We will hold that the district court correctly found that there was an enforceable oral contract for the settlement of claims between the parties and will affirm.
