The parties separated after a lengthy marriage during which the respondent husband was the primary earner and the applicant wife was the primary caregiver.
Following a brief separation, the parties reconciled and signed a marriage contract granting the wife the matrimonial home and its contents in the event of a future separation.
The parties separated again, and the husband sought to set aside the contract on grounds of duress and unconscionability.
The court upheld the contract, finding no duress or inequality of bargaining power.
The court also determined equalization, imputed income to the wife, calculated the husband's income using a three-year average, ordered spousal support, and apportioned the adult child's educational expenses.
