1. “"Clearly, then, in a case where an agreement is alleged to be patently unfair, as here, the first order of business is for a court to make a determination as to whether the provisions made for a wife on the face of an agreement are, in the language of Del Vecchio , `disproportionate to the means of the husband.' 143 So.2d at 20 . If the agreement is found to be unreasonable on its face, the presumption that the husband concealed assets would arise and this, in turn, would shift the burden of proof to him to establish the validity of the agreement. Since, by the trial court's own admission, no determination as to the fairness of the agreement was made herein, we reverse and remand for consideration of this issue."”

2. “"we feel compelled to note that there is some merit to her contention that her prior attorney should not have been allowed to participate in the hearing on the petition to vacate or rescind the settlement. It is clear that [her former counsel's] interests were adverse to those of Mrs. Fleming since she, in essence, was alleging that her prior attorney had participated in the alleged coercion which resulted in her oral acceptance of the agreement."”
