“`findings of the trial court come to this court clothed with a presumption of correctness and will not be disturbed absent a showing that there was no competent evidence to sustain them.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“a high degree of good faith and candor in all matters bearing upon the contract,”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“To modify or set aside a property settlement agreement, it is incumbent upon the party seeking to abrogate the agreement to allege and prove fraud, duress, deceit, coercion or overreaching by the other party... . Case law suggests two methods, one direct and one indirect. The direct method involves affirmative proof of fraud, misstatements, deceit, etc. The indirect method allows the party seeking to invalidate a property settlement agreement to prove that the agreement is unreasonable on its face. Thereupon, a presumption arises that the opposite party concealed his assets. This, in turn, shifts the burden of proof to the defendant party to establish the validity of the agreement. Del Vecchio v. Del Vecchio, 143 So.2d 17 (Fla. 1962).”
