More details to this question:
My husband and I filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in Florida (non-contested) a little over two years ago but have not moved forward with it. He is the petitioner. Is this petition still valid or does a new petition have to be filed? I ask because my income has changed significantly since filing this petition. Also, we signed a financial settlement agreement that was notarized at the courthouse. I agreed to a certain amount to not go after the house, his retirement, etc. I did sign this under duress because I was wanting to leave the house for my safety (he had been baker acted twice and the last time a dozen police officers were pointing guns at my house to get him out). Is this settlement agreement still valid? Would I be able to challenge this original agreement based on duress? Thank you in advance for any advise!

Once a Final Judgment of Dissolution has been entered, and a significant change in financial position has occurred, a modification case can be filed. If a Final Judgment has not yet been entered, an Amended Petition can be filed with the Court.
Separately, you may consider filing a Temporary Injunction, if you are in fear of the opposing party.
