O'Hair v. O'Hair
More than a decade after a marital settlement agreement was ratified and incorporated into a final dissolution judgment, the trial court set the agreement aside based on duress, relying solely on Casto v. Casto and never reaching timeliness. The Sixth DCA reversed, holding that once an agreement is incorporated into a final judgment, a party can only attack it by obtaining relief from the judgment under rule 12.540(b) (the family-law analogue of rule 1.540(b)), and remanded for the trial court to analyze the grounds and timeliness under that rule.
