Description

In this divorce case, William Cayan ("Bill") appeals a judgment in favor of Amalia Cayan ("Amy") on the grounds that the trial court erred in signing their divorce decree based on a mediated settlement agreement which Bill had repudiated because: (1) section 6.602 of the Texas Family Code does not create a procedural shortcut for enforcement of mediated settlement agreements; (2) a trial court is not required to enter judgment on a mediated settlement agreement merely because it technically complies with section 6.602; and (3) automatic enforcement of a mediated settlement agreement pursuant to section 6.602 violates the open courts and equal protection provisions of the Texas and United States Constitutions. We affirm.
