Because agreement was concealed from the trial court and was thus contrary to public policy, it was void and unenforceable; because, as a result of the agreement, both parties filed misleading and inaccurate financial affidavits, and because trial court should have ordered a new hearing on the financial and property division issues, a new trial was ordered on those issues. 187 C. 315.

Subsec. (a): Specifically grants court authority to incorporate by reference into its judgment of dissolution a fair and equitable separation agreement concerning several enumerated items, including disposition of property, thereby making it an order or decree of the court. 84 CA 415. Without separate evaluation by court to determine whether settlement agreement was fair and equitable, it could not become a settlement agreement as to the parties regarding their marital property, and court was free to distribute the property in a manner it determined was fair and equitable. 91 Conn.App. 579. Subsec. (c): An agreement to arbitrate contained in a prenuptial agreement is by definition an agreement to arbitrate issues that would only arise once the parties are involved in an action for dissolution; all agreements to arbitrate controversies between parties to a marriage are covered, regardless of when the parties entered into the agreement. 322 C. 828. Trial court erred in ordering parties to submit to arbitration to resolve dispute over unreimbursed medical expenses of minor children because parties had not executed a voluntary arbitration agreement; Subsec. expressly prohibits parties from arbitrating issues related to child support, which may preclude parties from submitting dispute concerning minor child’s unreimbursed medical expenses to arbitration. 156 CA 628.
