OWENS v. OWENS

No. BC-491.

476 So.2d 791 (1985)

Conrad Anthony OWENS, Cross-Appellant, v. Vickie Lee OWENS, Cross-Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

October 18, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Laura N. Melvin, Fort Walton, for cross-appellant.

George G. Phillips, Pensacola, for cross-appellee.


MILLS, Judge.

Conrad appeals from a dissolution of marriage judgment awarding attorney's fees to Vicki. He contends the trial court abused its discretion by rejecting that section of the parties' post-nuptial settlement agreement which provided each would pay his or her own attorney's fees, in light of the fact, the agreement was untainted by fraud, duress, or overreaching by either spouse. We agree and reverse.
