Quote: “The court said the request for Katy to testify out of order was unreasonable because the lawsuit is the priority for the parties and the need to change any conflicting plans,” said Los Angeles-based top family law attorney and legal analyst Christopher Melcher, who handles celebrity and high-net- worth divorces in California.

“Katy was not directly involved in the acquisition of the home because she used her business manager as the straw purchaser,” explains Melcher, who is a partner of Walzer Melcher Yoda LLP, which is ranked as a high-net- worth top family law firm
