Summary
In Goodison v. Goodison (48 N.Y.2d 786, supra), the defendant claimed, among other things, that he was unrepresented when he entered into a separation agreement and that his wife's attorney misled him by stating incorrectly that the amount of support could be modified by the Family Court. Despite this statement, which was far more egregious than anything present in this record, the Court of Appeals held that there was "no basis for relief under Christian v. Christian (42 N.Y.2d 63)" (Goodison v. Goodison, supra, p 788).
