Julie A. Pearson A/K/A Julie A. Marion v. Gregory J. Pearson.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island affirmed the Family Court’s award of attorney’s fees and costs to Julie A. Marion, holding that the settlement agreement’s paragraph 27 unambiguously authorized such fees, that no prevailing‑party prerequisite was required, that the court need not consider G.L.1956 § 15‑5‑16 factors, and that the contractual provision was not contrary to public policy.
