It depends on how the agreement is written (merged but not incorporated, etc.). In my state, if it is worded correctly, the courts lose the ability to alter an agrement once it's been signed by both parties and the court. The only way to change it is if someone can prove they were forced to sign it (this would have to occur very soon after the agreement was finalized) OR if nondisclosure was discovered, meaning, if you or your ex hid assets and did not include them in the agreement, they could be added to the settlement; doesn't change what you already have in place, gets added to it. I amended my agreement three times in the first seven months after initial filing. My ex has had four attorneys look at it since, trying to squeeze me for more, but she can't. If you'd like to share particulars with me via email, feel free. I'm not an attorney but will be you my understanding of it, based on a ton of research, my legal advice I've received, and my own divorce.

Yes you can, but not in an amendment form. You are going to have to file a motion to re-open and you had better have good reason or you can forget about it. This is almost considered an insult to a judge. As if to say you don't resepect his final decision...which means they don't like to do it. However, if something new has been discovered or the agreement is not working for both parties and you've agreed to something new, then by all means re-open the issue and get it straightened out. I should also caution you that there is a time limit on this. The law allows 2 years in just about every state, but depending on the situation for re-opening it, the judge will be allowed to use his own descretion. I wish you would have provided more information so that I could give you better advice. There are alot of things that change in life after divorce, alot of things we don't think about during the heat of the moment, and alot of things we don't see until after the dust settles. Certain situations call for that allowance to change, certain things do not.
I hope that clears things up a little.

Usually there are two areas that can be amended after the Judge has signed it. They are child custody and child support. You have to petition the court for a remodification hearing based on either. Anything else you will have to sue in small claims court.
