Hughes v. Peterson
Annotate this CaseRespondent filed an appeal from the Family Court's final judgment regarding attorney's fees; its order dividing the marital property; and its order granting the motion of petitioner to rescind the parties' separation agreement. The court affirmed the Family Court's decision to rescind the separation agreement where that court found the terms of the separation were unfair and that respondent exerted undue influence in getting petitioner to sign it. The court concluded that the Family Court's decision to divide the marital assets 55%/45% in favor of petitioner and dividing the marital debts 45%/55% in petitioner's favor must be affirmed. Finally, the court concluded that the Family Court's decision to award attorney's fees to petitioner must also be affirmed.
