DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
While an appellate court's authority in reviewing a determination after a nonjury trial is as broad as that of the trial court, due deference is given to the trial court's determination ( see Mechwart v. Mechwart, 292 A.D.2d 354; DiBruno v. Abrams, 208 A.D.2d 672, 674). Such a determination should not be disturbed on appeal unless it is unsupported by legally sufficient evidence or could not have been reached by any fair interpretation of the evidence ( see A S Trucking Serv. v. New York State Thruway Auth., 268 A.D.2d 493; Greenberg v. Behlen, 220 A.D.2d 720).
Here, there was sufficient evidence demonstrating that the separation agreement entered into by the parties was arrived at fairly and equitably, and in a manner that was free from the taint of fraud and duress ( see Christian v. Christian, 42 N.Y.2d 63). Contrary to the plaintiff's contention, it was not the defendant's burden to prove that the agreement was fair and reasonable, but rather, it was her burden to show that the agreement was the result of fraud or overreaching, or that its terms were unconscionable ( see Jacobs v. Jacobs, 234 A.D.2d 425; Wilutis v. Wilutis, 184 A.D.2d 639). Since the plaintiff failed to meet her burden, the Supreme Court correctly dismissed the complaint seeking to rescind the separation agreement.
The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
