Supreme Court of Delaware

Henry Greg Hughes, Respondent Below-Appellant v. Sandra K. Peterson, Petitioner Below-Appellee

March 13, 201241 A.3d 395

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court's rulings rescinding the parties' separation agreement, dividing their marital assets and debts, and awarding attorney's fees. The separation agreement was properly rescinded because Mr. Hughes used the pending protection-from-abuse proceeding, Ms. Peterson's employment concerns, and her desire to reconcile to obtain her signature through undue influence. The property division and fee award were supported by the record and involved no legal error or abuse of discretion.
