August Wohlt v. Christi Wohlt

Summary

The court held that the parties’ property-settlement agreement unambiguously awarded August all of Echo Systems’ assets, including cryptocurrencies the parties had forgotten, because the agreement repeatedly used comprehensive language and contained no exception for forgotten property. The court further held that the trial court lacked authority to divide the cryptocurrencies absent an applicable contractual, consensual, or fraud-based exception to the statutory prohibition on modifying the settlement. The court reversed the denial of partial summary judgment and remanded for proceedings consistent with that determination.
