Description
Appellant Raymond K. Ames appeals from the trial court's final decree granting him and his wife Nancy Jo Ames a divorce. In
four points of error, Raymond contends the trial court erred in (1) not recognizing his repudiation of the mediated settlement
agreement; (2) entering the decree of divorce without any evidence to support it; (3) modifying the settlement agreement;
and (4) overruling his motion for new trial. We note that Raymond initially argues the settlement agreement is invalid; however,
anticipating we might not agree, he alternatively argues that the agreement is inviolable and the court erred in modifying
the agreement. His second argument compels us to reverse the judgment and remand the cause to the trial court. Raymond filed suit to divorce his wife Nancy, appellee. Nancy answered Raymond's petition and filed a counter-petition for
divorce. The parties were ordered to mediation which resulted in a community property settlement agreement reached on June
5, 1991. Both parties and their respective attorneys signed the settlement agreement. The record reflects that on June 20,
1991, Raymond attempted to withdraw his consent to the settlement agreement by means of a letter from his attorney to Nancy's
attorney. On August 20, 1991, Nancy filed a "Motion For Entry of Decree of Divorce" based on the June 5 settlement agreement.
On November 27, 1991, the trial court entered a decree of divorce.
