Heading: waiver of right to disclosure of miller's property

Text: The district court ruled that Davis waived her right to any disclosure of Miller's property in the settlement agreement as set forth in K.S.A. 23-807(a)(2)(B). The pertinent portion of the postnuptial agreement reads: 3. Waiver of additional financial information. The parties hereto each voluntarily and expressly waive any right to disclosure of the property, financial position or obligations of the other beyond the disclosures provided herein and by the attachments hereto. (Emphasis added.) Davis argues that although paragraph 3 controls the waiver of release of any additional financial information, paragraph 2 controls the disclosure of previous or attached financial information. Paragraph 2 reads: 2. Financial information disclosure. `Husband' has made complete disclosure to `Wife' of his financial situation through personal and business records and through statements made at a conference of attorneys and accountants in which a transcribed record was taken on December 1, 1994. We interpret the contract to be a waiver of any future disclosures and not to apply to a waiver of any and all disclosures made in the past. The district court incorrectly ruled that Davis had waived her right to disclosure as is meant by K.S.A. 23-807(a)(2)(B). Because we have held, however, that Miller adequately disclosed his property interests to Davis, this issue is moot and does not affect this court's decision.
