Joan Lafrance v. Dean W. Lodmell.

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment in the marital-dissolution action. It held that the statutory safeguards governing arbitration in dissolution proceedings applied to the arbitration clause in the parties' prenuptial agreement, that the trial court properly limited arbitration to disputes concerning the residence, and that the denial of the requested pleading amendment was within the court's discretion. The court also concluded that the arbitration submission was unrestricted and that the arbitrator's awards conformed to the submission.
