Mozelle Corley Turner, Petitioners v. Genevieve J. Turner, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the award of $30,000 attorney's fees to Pat Corley, holding that he is not entitled to recover fees from his former wife Mozelle, and affirmed the remainder of the judgment in the alienation of affections suit. The Court also held that the separation agreement did not bar recovery, that Mozelle waived any disqualification claim against Pat's counsel, and that the trial court did not err on evidentiary, jury, wealth, or limitation issues. Justice Smith dissented, arguing Pat should recover his fees.
