Willey v. Willey

Supreme Court of Vermont

1Opinion of the CourtReiber, C.J.

¶ 1. Husband Philip Willey appeals from the family court’s final divorce decree awarding wife Carol Willey $210,000 and incorporating other terms of an oral settlement agreement reached by the parties during their divorce trial. Husband also appeals from the family court’s subsequent order awarding wife attorney’s fees and temporary maintenance. Because the family court’s finding that the parties intended to be bound by the oral settlement agreement was not clearly erroneous, and because its decision to award attorney’s fees and temporary maintenance was not an abuse of discretion, we affirm.
