In the case of Grindlinger v. Grindlinger, the Appeals Court of Massachusetts dealt with a separation agreement between Gene A. Grindlinger and Michele S. Grindlinger. The couple entered into this agreement on the eve of their divorce trial, and it was incorporated into their divorce judgment. Gene Grindlinger later sought relief from the judgment, claiming he was overwhelmed with fatigue and anxiety when he signed the agreement. However, the court found no abuse of discretion in denying his motion for relief, emphasizing the finality of the agreement despite his claims of distress.
