Heading: Judgment Against Karimi's Wife

Text: Karimi contends on appeal that the district court entered judgment against his wife improperly, given that she was never a party to any agreement with Red Lion. Karimi did not raise this argument in the district court. Judgment was entered against Karimi's wife, labeled Jane Doe Karimi in the judgment, individually and as a marital community. WASH. REV. CODE § 26.16.190 provides: For all injuries committed by a married person or domestic partner, there shall be no recovery against the separate property of the other spouse or other domestic partner except in cases where there would be joint responsibility if the marriage or the state registered domestic partnership did not exist. It appears that Karimi's wife was not a party to any agreement with Red Lion. We leave it to the district court on remand to determine if there is any reason, procedural or substantive, why judgment should be entered against her, and, if appropriate, to amend the judgment.
