Settlement agreement enforcement case result, Duchateau v. Duchateau appellate ruling, Emrick Family Law Firm

Summary: Our client's former husband attempted to force her into a purported agreement that would let him pay only part of what he owed while she waived her ongoing alimony. After the trial court set that agreement aside and upheld her original alimony rights, he appealed both rulings.

Result: The appellate court affirmed the trial court's rulings in full, rejecting his appeal on both issues.
