How can I enforce a separation agreement that was incorporated into a judgment of divorce in Missouri?
When a separation agreement has been incorporated into a dissolution decree, it can be enforced in the same manner as any court judgment. Missouri courts have held that where settlement agreements set forth ongoing obligations (for example, that one side will occupy the former marital residence), the parties have fiduciary duties to each other with respect to such obligations.
