Horner v. Carter
Annotate this CaseWhen Husband and Wife's marriage was dissolved in 2005, the trial court approved the settlement agreement reached by the parties following mediation. In 2011, Husband sought to modify the agreement. At the evidentiary hearing, the trial court excluded from evidence Husband's testimony regarding statements he claimed to have made to the mediator during mediation. The court subsequently denied Husband's request for modification of his monthly housing payment obligation. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the trial court was correct to exclude Husband's mediation statements from evidence on his petition to modify the parties' settlement agreement; and (2) the trial court correctly rejected Husband's request for modification of his monthly housing payment obligation.
