Donald C. Sachau, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Barbara Sachau, Defendant-Respondent

May 11, 2011206 N.J. 1

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for a new determination that, absent an agreement on valuation, the marital home must be valued as of the date of sale, not the trigger date, and held that the contra proferentem doctrine does not apply to matrimonial settlement agreements lacking unequal bargaining power.
