Wade v. Wade

The parties were granted a dissolution in 1976; there were three children the issue of their marriage. Roberta and Fred returned to court for several motion hearings throughout the following six years.

Prior to a hearing scheduled for May 24, 1982, Roberta and Fred entered into an agreement between themselves and without the benefit of consultation with their respective attorneys. This agreement provided that Fred would have physical custody of Tiffanie, born July 21, 1973, with the provision that Tiffanie would return to her mother when she expressed a desire to return to live with her mother.
