File for a hearing. It all depends on what documents you signed.

If you are the Petitioner and the other party has not responded, you may file am amended petition without requesting it from the court. If the other side has responded, you must file a proper motion to do so.

You have not specified exactly which divorce papers you are referring to. It sounds like you have signed a Marital Settlement Agreement and now have second thoughts. You can and probably should state that you no longer agree to the MSA in a writing to the other side or his or her lawyer. The MSA does not become an Order of the Court until the Judge approves it. You would be well advised to find an experienced family lawyer to advise and advocate for you.

Your question is not clear with respect to the facts. Check the court records to determine whether orders have been entered. If so, you have 30 days from the date of the final order to request a new trial. If you are speaking of a time frame related to filing an answer, then you should file a written answer. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

You may be able to still file an answer. However, you should consult with an attorney right away to make sure no default has been entered.

If a final judgment of divorce has been entered, then it is unlikely that you will be able to get it changed, particularly if you agreed to the terms at one time. If the judgment has not been entered, you should see an attorney immediately to see what can be done.

See if the court will accept your late filed response. In your response put down what you will agree to and what is disputed and why.
