Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Date unavailable
William B. Troupe, Appellant, v. Deborah Y. Troupe, Respondent.
William Troupe appealed the trial court's denial of his motion to enforce a marital settlement agreement (MSA) against Deborah Troupe. Husband sought to sell marital property due to Wife's failure to make mortgage payments and requested attorney's fees, while also challenging Wife's use of insurance proceeds for property repairs. The appellate court reversed the trial court's findings regarding the property sale and attorney's fees, holding that the MSA's plain language triggered the sale option and entitled Husband to fees due to Wife's breaches. The court affirmed the trial court's decision that Wife properly used insurance proceeds for necessary repairs.
