DANA MARLENE PAGLIARA v. TIMOTHY J. PAGLIARA

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Jun 29, 2020

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: James L. Weatherly, Jr., Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Dana Marlene Pagliara.

Attorneys 2: Eugene N. Bulso, Jr., and Paul J. Krog, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Timothy J. Pagliara.

Judge(s): SWINEY

This interlocutory appeal arises from a pending divorce action. During discovery, the husband sought certain communications between the wife and her attorneys. During some of these meetings between the wife and her attorneys, a third party was present during discussions of whether the wife should report conduct by the husband to law enforcement. The wife could not identify which of the meetings the third party had been present and which she had not. Because the wife did not meet her burden of proof in demonstrating that attorney-client privilege applied to the communications, we affirm the judgment of the Trial Court.
