New York Court of Appeals
Charity Hungerford, Respondent v. Orrin Hungerford, Appellant
February 6, 1900161 N.Y. 550
Summary
The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment rescinding a separation agreement between husband and wife, holding that contracts between spouses are void at law and enforceable in equity only when fair, and that the agreement was inadequate and executed under ill‑treatment. The Court also held that the wife need not restore support she had already expended.
