According to Section 5525 (a) (8), a contractual remedy must normally be filed within four years. In the event of a divorce, there is often a real estate comparison agreement (also known as a marital transaction agreement) executed by the parties who resolve the economic aspects of their divorce. Over the years, the courts have examined whether meal contracts (or the provisions included in them) are maintained. When a contract is a “permanent contract,” the question arises when the four-year limitation period will begin. Instead, Lisle filed a civil suit against Lowell in Wyoming County, provided in accordance with the enforcement powers under Section 401 (b) of the Divorce Code as of February 12, 1988. Under Section 401.1 (a), the application of an unmerged ASM is authorized by the provisions of the code “to the same extent as if the agreement had been an order of the Tribunal, unless the agreement otherwise specifies it.” There is no contrary provision in their MSA; As a result, the original MSA between Lowell and Lisle, which provided for an amendment of `524 only by written agreement between the parties, could be imposed, but could not be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Divorce Act.

The Tribunal stated that the post-marital and marital transaction agreements were “subject to the same general principles of the contract” by walking in favour of the husband and agreeing to enforce the agreement of the parties. Trial Ct. Op., 13.06.16, at 1-2 (referring to Stoner v. Stoner, 819 A.2d 529, 533 n.5 (Pa. 2003); Simeone v. Simeone , 581 A.2d 162, 165 (Pa. 1990); and luber , 614 A.2d to 773).

Divorces are generally more complicated when it comes to other related issues, such as child custody, child welfare, spousal assistance, food status and marital ownership sharing. Each of these issues must be resolved before the divorce decree is registered. If a divorce agreement is not legally respected, there are several things the other spouse can do. The most important and useful thing you can do is to inform the presiding family court of the incident.

The terms of the contract provide for the termination of the agreed subpenability only for the “remarriage” of Lisle. The court stopped Lisle`s support because she was “living with a man.” However, this finding inevitably led to an unacceptable change in the provisions of the original MSA. If Lowell had wanted to stop paying child support if Lisle had “cohabited” with another man, it could have been part of the original MSA. We do not find the term “remarriage” ambiguous enough to accept the isolated “cohabitation.” There must be at least evidence of cohabitation and reputation of marriage to support the assumption that a marriage was entered into under the common law.
