Description
Appellant Yvonne Willis filed a malpractice suit against her divorce attorney, appellee Chilton Maverick. The suit stemmed from Mavericks representation of both Mrs. Willis and her ex-husband in their divorce proceedings. The Mavericks and Willises were apparently good friends, and when marital discord surfaced in the Willis household, Maverick agreed to draft their divorce settlement. Initially, the Willises agreed on the custody of the children and property division. Maverick drafted the parties agreement and after one change was made, concerning Mrs. Willis occupancy of the marital home, the agreement was executed and incorporated into the divorce decree. Approximately ten months later, Mrs. Willis learned that pursuant to the change which had in the agreement, Mr. Willis was filing a partition suit on the marital home which Mrs. Willis and the children occupied. Mrs. Willis had mistakenly believed that such a suit was prohibited under their agreement.
