The applicant husband sought to set aside a separation agreement drafted and mediated by the parties' religious pastor.
The pastor, who owed the parties a significant amount of money, acted in a conflict of interest.
The husband, suffering from significant medical and cognitive issues, signed the agreement without independent legal advice.
The court applied the Miglin framework and found the agreement was unconscionable, failed to reflect legislative objectives, and was signed under circumstances where the husband was unable to protect himself.
The separation agreement was set aside in its entirety.
