Description

Plaintiffs pleading and the papers submitted in its support cannot be said to set forth a legal basis for finding that defendant procured the separation agreement by duress. As alleged in the complaint, plaintiff was under emotional strain during the several months that the agreement was being drafted. During this entire period, however, plaintiff was represented by an attorney who undertook the actual negotiations. Implicitly, plaintiffs attorney also approved the terms of the agreement and there is no contrary showing. Plaintiff signed the agreement at her attorneys office, in her attorneys presence, and several days before defendant signed the agreement at his attorneys office. Even accepting plaintiffs allegation that defendant persistently telephoned her to urge that she sign the agreement, the circumstances described in the complaint do not constitute duress.
