The First Appellate District reversed a judgment. The court held that a married couple’s postseparation oral agreement that resulted in an uneven distribution of community property in their dissolution action was rendered void and unenforceable by Fam. Code §2550, which mandates equal division of community assets unless otherwise agreed to in writing or by oral stipulation of both parties in open court.
David Dellaria and Elizabeth Blickman-Dellaria married in 1989. They had three children. David petitioned for dissolution in September 2000. The couple separated at the end of 2001.
