My wife wanted us to separate and to keep the house and buy me out which we did. Since then she has fallen on hard times and most likely has lost her job. She is in severe depression and will probably lose the house we once owned together. I now own my own house and filed for divorce yesterday and trying to move on with my life. Our separation agreement was very specific on what she got and what I got, there were no kids involved so custody is not a problem. My question is this. Can the court change anything in the separation agreement since she may have lost her job and is emotionally unstable?? I am also worried about her not signing the divorce papers.

Don't worry about her signing the papers for the divorce. Your lawyer needs to contact the court and let them know exactly what is going on. You didn't say, but I assume your name was taken off the home, if not your lawyer needs to deal with these things quickly. Don't fall prey to her illness and try helping her, it just might bring you down also. I do wish you luck. To add, no they can't change anything without both agreeing, this is why you need to talk with your lawyer.

First anything can be changed by mutual agreement. But not without your consent. As far as her current condition its of her own making and not your fault. She does not hasve to sign the divorce papers. After the waiting period the judge will sign them and its over.
