Pattison v. Pattison

Summary

The Supreme Court of Maryland held that the wife's settlement proposal required the husband to execute the agreement and promissory note by September 25, 2020, and that he did not timely accept it. Because the offer expired before the husband's September 28 signature, his signed documents constituted a counteroffer that the wife was not required to accept, and her silence did not waive the deadline. The court affirmed the intermediate appellate court's reversal of the divorce judgment enforcing the settlement agreement.
