Ronn Owens filed for bankruptcy citing more than $2.3 million in liabilities, an unpaid mortgage and credit card debt. His daughter Laura Owens had a petition denied by the Arizona Supreme Court, leaving a 2024 trial court ruling intact that found she failed to produce evidence she was ever pregnant by Clayton Echard. Echard maintained they never had sexual intercourse, only oral sex. The denial leaves Laura Owens responsible for Echard's attorney fees, which grew from $149,000 to over $200,000 during appeals. Judge Julie Mata said Laura Owens lacked good faith, cited serial fabrications, and referred the case for potential criminal prosecution.
In the same week that KGO-810 radio legend Ronn Owens filed for bankruptcy, citing more than $2.3 million in liabilities, an unpaid mortgage and credit card debt, his daughter Laura Owens lost her bid to have the Arizona Supreme Court review a petition that stems from her notorious paternity litigation against Bachelor star Clayton Echard, in which she claimed that he got her pregnant with twins after a one-night stand in May 2023.
The court's decision also means that Laura Owens is on the hook for Echard's attorney's fees, which initially were $149,000 but have ballooned to more than $200,000 as she appealed the trial court's ruling. Judge Julie Mata in Maricopa County, where the Owens family now lives, said that Laura Owens lacked good faith, as she relentlessly pursued costly paternity claims against Echard in 2023 and 2024.
