In the lawsuit filed on April 25, 2024, Sharareh Moazed is the plaintiff and appellant against Peyman Javaherbin as the defendant and respondent. The case was heard in the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Second Appellate District, Division One with court case ID B326428. The Superior Court of Los Angeles County initially handled the case under Judge Mark A. Young.
The plaintiff's lawyer is John J. Gulino while Matthew E. Hess represents the defendant. Moazed alleges that Javaherbin breached pooling and support agreements wherein he promised to financially support her for life and treat all property and income acquired during their relationship as joint property in exchange for her companionship and care.
Moazed also claims that these promises were made after Javaherbin proposed marriage to her which he reiterated throughout their relationship. However, the trial court granted Javaherbin’s motion for judgment on the pleadings and denied leave to amend, stating that Moazed’s complaint was barred by Civil Code sections 43.4 and 43.5, known as the “anti-heart-balm-statutes.”
Moazed seeks an appeal contending that her complaint was based on Javaherbin’s breach of pooling and support agreements rather than his promise to marry her. She argues that she could have added allegations to clarify that their pooling and support agreements were unrelated to marriage promises.
