How Judge Yun decides

Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.

What persuades

The court looks to the substance of a transaction when contractual restrictions effectively remove meaningful ownership rights.

“looking at substance over form, the parties’ transaction amounted to an assignment”

Third-party plan contributions require admissible evidence showing that the promised support is stable and regular.

“sufficient admissible evidence to prove that the contributions are reliable and likely”

Procedural preferences

Unless the court directs otherwise, parties and counsel may choose an in-person or telephone appearance.

“Parties and counsel may choose whether they appear in person or by telephone.”

Cautions

Telephone participants should maintain a reliable connection and remain attentive throughout the hearing.
