Alaska Supreme Court

Kenneth L. Colton, Appellant v. Rebecca K. Colton, Appellee

December 23, 20102010 Alas. LEXIS 134

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed enforcement of the former spouses' on-the-record settlement requiring Ken to pay Rebecca $47,121.04. It held that Ken's objective conduct demonstrated mutual assent and that his unexpressed belief that the payment would produce an equal property division could not defeat the agreement. The court also held that Ken identified no facts showing that the settlement was made without full understanding.
