Heather Keep v. Christopher Indorf

Summary

The court held that the parties formed an enforceable settlement agreement during a judicial settlement conference in the partition action. Although the agreement was ambiguous regarding the effect of the property's May 2019 valuation, the trial court could not set it aside merely because later events made enforcement appear unfair; it was required to use contract principles and extrinsic evidence to determine its meaning. The partition judgment was vacated and remanded, while Keep's cross-appeal was dismissed as untimely.
