Jennifer S. Burleson v. Lynn P. Burleson
Case Number: 19cvd16342
Judge: Stephen R. Futrell
Court: District Court, Wake County, North Carolina
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney:
Description:
Raleigh, North Carolina divorce lawyers in a marriage dissolution.
Plaintiff and defendant married in February 2015 and purchased a home in on 29 November 2016 ("the marital home"). The parties understood that the home was to be a "fixer-upper." They agreed that since plaintiff was an interior designer, she would complete improvements around the home. However, on 24 September 2018, the parties separated, and defendant left the marital home while plaintiff remained.
On 8 August 2019, the parties, represented by attorneys, participated in mediation and signed a "Memorandum of Mediation Settlement Agreement" ("the Memorandum"). Among other things, the Memorandum provided that plaintiff would execute a North Carolina Special Warranty Deed, transferring all rights, title, and interest in the marital home to defendant, allowing defendant to sell the property in the near future. In exchange, defendant would make various payments to plaintiff. The Memorandum also provided that plaintiff would have possession of the property through 31 December 2019, maintain the property in good condition, and not make any extra improvements or repairs without defendant's express agreement. Lastly, the Memorandum provided that the parties were to prepare and execute a formal separation agreement consistent with the terms therein.
