My spouse and I came to agreements on division of marital property, assets, and child custody and had a marital dissolution agreement drawn up with everything we agreed too. The documents were notarized and filed with the courts a month ago and there are two more months before the judge will sign the petition and we will be divorced. Now, my spouse wants to change things in the agreement. Basically, make it a contested divorce. The documents were not signed under duress and there was no cohersion on either part to enter into the agreement. Can she do this? Thanks!!

Sorry, I believe I need to give more information. I was deployed to Iraq, at my 9th month of the year long deployment, she informs me that she's pregnant with another mans baby. She agreed to give up her entitlement to my retirement, waived her rights to my house, which I bought after we were seperated, and I have primary custodial household of the children. Basically she waived everything. We reside in Tennessee.

Yes, she can make changes or contest it at any point. In Texas, where I reside, I believe in an uncontested divorce the other party can still come forward and contest for 60 or 90 days after it is signed by a judge. I was told this when I went through my uncontested divorce.

any contract would properly get replaced until eventually the choose signs and indicators the papers after court, convinced he can try this, more desirable than in all probability he has discovered out how a lot he ought to pay. yet when this isn't about the money to both of you i ought to take a seem at what's perfect for the little ones. for the time of a Divorce it is what must be the popular concentration. positioned aside all diffrences and do what's sweet for the little ones, if both events can do this it is a win win concern for the little ones.

Your spouse cannot amend the appended Dissolution Agreement; but she may be able to put a stop to the completion of the divorce and start over. Better talk to your attorney.

Yup... It aint over until the fat judge sings and signs.. and then it isnt really over.. additional filings can be made for various modifications.. dosent mean an instant win, but the family court retains jurisdiction...

If she can prove new and material circumstances or the discovery of something material that was hidden or neglectfully undisclosed, then she can contest it. If she's just simply changed her mind and the circumstances remain the same, then this is one case where changing her mind is NOT a woman's prerogative.
