The agreement stipulated that if Husband failed to release Wife from mortgage obligations on certain properties, the properties would be sold. The trial court awarded Wife damages but refused to order the sale. The appellate court reversed, holding that the trial court improperly modified the binding separation agreement by substituting damages for the agreed-upon sale. The case was remanded for an order to sell the properties, and Wife was awarded attorney's fees on appeal.","primaryTopic":"divorce","topicSlugs":["divorce","family-law","contracts","property-real-estate","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=139479","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/thanhphuong-thi-nguyen-appellant-v-dieng-nguyen-respondent-107014","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: divorce"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: property-real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
