Property Contract With No-Cheating Clause Enforceable

Property Contract With No-Cheating Clause Enforceable

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

A Jefferson County woman must convey her assets in a property she shared with her ex-boyfriend after she became pregnant by another man in breach of a contract she signed with the ex-boyfriend, the Indiana Court of Appeals found Friday.

In Tina L. Hemingway v. John P. Scott, 39A04-1604-PL-957, John Scott inherited a 10-acre parcel of land from his father in 2001. After moving in together, Tina Hemingway and Scott each signed a contract in 2012 in which Scott promised to convey the property to himself and Hemingway and also included a list of conditions that would constitute a breach, including “cheating.” Additionally, a remedies clause held that any breach by Hemingway would require her to convey her interest in the property to Scott via a quitclaim deed.

About two months later, Hemingway became pregnant by another man and moved out in June 2013, when she ceased any financial or other contributions to the property. On June 17, Scott sent Hemingway a notice that she was in breach of the contract and was required to convey her interest back to him pursuant to the contract.

In September 2015, Hemingway filed a petition for partition of the property and Scott filed a counterclaim for breach of contract and replevin. In April 2016, the Jefferson Circuit Court issued an order concluding that Hemingway had breached the contract and requiring her to convey her interests back to Scott by quitclaim deed.

Hemingway appealed, arguing that the contract merged into the deed conveying the property to Scott and Hemingway as joint tenants and, thus, was extinguished by the express terms of the deed.  But Indiana Court of Appeals Judge Terry Crone wrote that the language of the contract held that it should “be attached to the property deed,” indicating the intent of the parties for the contract to survive the deed.

Further, Crone wrote that the contractual obligations to fidelity and to shared expenses and labor were not necessary to the completion of the conveyance, but instead were “prospective in nature and addressed conduct that would trigger the operation of the remedies clause, specifically here, a reconveyance to Scott.”  Thus, the doctrine of merger did not apply, he wrote.

Hemingway further argued that the contract was unenforceable based on public policy that prohibits contract in consideration of meretricious sexual services, but Crone wrote that the appellate court also disagreed with that argument. He likened the contract to a prenuptial agreement and pointed out that Scott and Hemingway had previously lived together and then separated, so the contract was written with the intent that they would get back together and conduct themselves as a unit with respect to the property.

Further, Crone wrote that the forfeiture suffered by Scott if the contract were not enforced would be “serious and grievous.” Additionally, Hemingway breached not only the no-cheating clause, but also a clause requiring her to contribute to the property’s expenses when she moved out in June 2013. Thus, the appellate court found that Hemingway must reconvey her interest to Scott by a quitclaim deed.

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball Coach Rick Stein gets his second crack at career win No. 300 Thursday at 5:30 p.m. when the Screaming Eagles resume Great Lakes Valley Conference play against William Jewell College.

Thursday’s game will be Stein’s 500th at the helm of the USI women’s basketball program, which also hosts Rockhurst University Saturday at 1 p.m.

The Eagles (10-2, 2-0 GLVC) look to shake off a disappointing end to their non-conference schedule. USI suffered a 66-65 setback to Midwest Region foe Ohio Dominican University last Friday despite leading by as many as 14 points in the first half.

Junior guard/forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) had 20 points to lead the Eagles in defeat. Grooms, who has reached the 20-point plateau in four of USI’s last five games, ranks fifth in the GLVC with a team-high 16.1 points per contest.

William Jewell (5-5, 2-1 GLVC) enters Thursday’s game on the heels of a 79-69 win over Graceland College Monday night. Senior guard Maddie Nelson had eight assists to go along with a career-high 23 points and 17 rebounds to lead the Cardinals. Nelson, the GLVC Player of the Week for her efforts, leads William Jewell with 15.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and a league-best 4.7 assists per game.

Rockhurst (8-2, 3-0 GLVC) brings a six-game winning streak into its game at No. 4 Bellarmine University Thursday, but has not played since December 11. Senior guard Mary Dineen leads the Hawks and ranks third in the GLVC with 19.2 points per outing.

WSWI 95.7 FM will carry both games this weekend, while live audio, stats, and GLVC Sports Network coverage can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

Breaking News :Third Burglary Suspect is now in Custody, Two Evansville Men were Arrested Earlier

0
Earlier this morning, Kylan Stevens, 21, of Evansville, turned himself in at the Posey County Jail.  A felony warrant for his arrest was issued in December after Indiana State Police investigated a burglary at a Poseyville residence. Stevens was arrested for Burglary and Theft. He’s currently being held on bond in the Posey County Jail.

Updated information concerning all three arrests:

Posey County – Indiana State Police launched a criminal investigation after a Poseyville homeowner noticed someone had burglarized a barn located on his property at 9111 Cleveland Road. The alleged burglary and theft occurred sometime in the early morning hours of December 6. The homeowner reported a Suzuki four-wheeler, a Yamaha 70cc dirt bike, a 12’ cargo trailer and numerous other items had been stolen from his barn.

On December 7th  the Posey County Sheriff’s Department contacted Indiana State Police and informed investigating troopers that Evansville Police had located items matching several stolen items from the Posey County burglary at a residence located at 1227 West Maryland in Evansville.  When troopers arrived and conducted their investigation they found four brand new sump pumps, one Ryobi backpack leaf blower, an Echo chainsaw, three antique ceramic vessels, a pair of western boots, a vacuum cleaner and a 2012 Sure-Trac cargo trailer. All items located were allegedly stolen from the barn in Poseyville. The Poseyville homeowner soon arrived and identified his property. The property was then released to the homeowner. The red Suzuki 50cc four-wheeler and white/pink Yamaha 70cc dirt bike was not recovered and still missing.

Further investigation revealed Steven Collins, 43, allegedly drove to the Poseyville property with Christopher Vallee, 42, and Kylan Stevens, 21, all from Evansville. They allegedly backed the truck into the barn and hooked onto the trailer.  After allegedly taking numerous items that belonged to the homeowner, they drove away with the trailer.

After reviewing the investigation the Posey County Prosecutor’s Office issued felony warrants for burglary and theft for Collins, Vallee and Stevens. Troopers arrested Collins without incident at his Evansville residence on December 16.  He was taken to the Posey County Jail where he is currently being held on bond. Vallee was located and arrested today at a residence located at 923 W. Maryland, Evansville. He was also taken to the Posey County Jail where he is currently being held on bond. Stevens turned himself in this morning and is currently being held on bond in the Posey County Jail.

Arrested and Charges:

  • Steven Collins, 43, 1227 W. Maryland, Evansville, IN
  • Christopher Vallee, 42, 1320 Cody Street, Evansville, IN
  • Kylan Stevens, 21, 1227 W. Maryland, Evansville, IN

Taylor posts a triple-double in 122-59 win

0

University of Southern Indiana senior guard Jeril Taylor (Louisville, Kentucky) recorded the program’s first triple-double since 1981 in the 11th-ranked Screaming Eagles’ 122-59 victory over Bluefield State College Monday evening at the Physical Activities Center. USI sees its record go to 12-0 overall for the fourth time in the history of the program, while Bluefield State is 1-14 in 2016-17.

Taylor’s triple-double of 15 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists is the first of its kind in the history of the USI men’s basketball program. Former GLVC Player of the Year and USI All-American John Hollinden was the only other Eagle to have a triple-double, recording two in 1981 and involved points, rebounds, and blocked shots. Hollinden’s second and USI’s last recorded triple-double came against Kentucky Wesleyan College when he posted 14 points, 13 rebounds, and 17 blocks on January 24, 1981.

The Eagles, who go to 10-0 against non-conference completion this year, used a 45-7 run in the first half to soar out to a 66-24 advantage by halftime. USI, which had 10 of 11 players score in the first 20 minutes, was led during the first half scoring explosion by sophomore guard Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) and Taylor with 12 points and 11 points, respectively.

The 66 first-half points was nine short of the USI first-half record of 75 versus Ferris State University in the 2000-01 season.

USI kept its foot on the accelerator in the second half, widening the margin to as many as 67 points, 122-55, and outscoring Bluefield State, 56-35, in the finals 20 minutes to earn the 122-59 victory.

The Eagles shot a blistering 61.4 percent from the field for the game, (43-70), 45.2 percent from beyond the arc (14-31), and 81.5 percent from the charity stripe (22-27). They also outrebounded Bluefield State, 48-22, in the 40 minutes.

Individually, the Eagles had a school record nine players reach double-digits in scoring. Stein and junior guard Kyle Aiton (Newburgh, Indiana) led the way with 18 points each.

Taylor was third with his 15 points and followed by senior guard Bobo Drummond (Peoria, Illinois), who dropped in 13 points for fourth on the team. Junior guard Marcellous Washington (Lexington, Kentucky) and sophomore forward Jacob Norman (Evansville, Indiana) tied for fifth with 12 points each, while junior forward Julius Rajala (Finland) and junior center Carter Davis (Denver, Colorado) rounded out the double-digit scorers with 11 and 10 points, respectively.

USI restarts Great Lakes Valley Conference action Thursday at 7:30 p.m. when it hosts William Jewell College and Saturday at 3:15 p.m. when it welcomes Rockhurst University to the PAC. The USI-William Jewell match-up is USI Staff Appreciation Night, while following the USI-Rockhurst game Saturday is the annual Varsity Club/Alumni Association Soup & Hot Dog Dinner.

William Jewell saw its losing streak extended to six games and a 3-7 mark this year after falling to Graceland University, 98-97, in double-overtime tonight in Liberty, Missouri, to open the 2017 calendar. The six-game losing streak includes a 0-3 start to the GLVC schedule.

USI leads the all-time series with William Jewell, 4-0, since the Cardinals joined the GLVC in 2011-12. The Eagles won the only meeting at the PAC, 86-48, in 2014-15 and earned an 86-76 victory in Liberty last year behind the 32 point performance of Taylor.

Rockhurst is 7-4 overall and 1-2 in the GLVC in 2016-17. The Hawks, who visit Bellarmine University on Thursday before coming to the PAC, have won four-straight, including a 2017 opening 74-66 win over Central Missouri on December 31.

The Eagles are 16-1 all-time against Rockurst and have won the last 13-straight contests with the Hawks. USI, which is 7-0 versus the Hawks at the PAC, posted a 79-71 road victory last year behind the 19-point, eight-rebound effort of George Edwards.
