Daniel Goode v. Sarina Goode

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s judgment enforcing an unsigned separation agreement, ordering specific performance, and awarding attorneys’ fees. The Court held that the enforcement petition was not barred by res judicata or judicial estoppel, that the parties formed an enforceable contract despite the lack of signatures, and that the child-support provision was not facially void because the agreement permitted modification. The Court also held that the applicable fee-shifting statute authorized an award in this proceeding.
