QUESTION

If you've already signed and notarized a marital settlement agreement, can you request changes to it?

Asked on Apr 18th, 2018 on Divorce - Florida
More details to this question:
My husband filed for divorce online through a lawyer (uncontested), but after we've signed our marital settlement agreement and have had it notarized, I didn't realize I could be entitled to some of his 401k. Obviously, my husband isn't going to agree, so now what? Does that require hiring a lawyer and going to court or is it too late anyway because I've already signed the MSA?

Every case is different. If there was full financial disclosure on your husband's part, you will have a hard time setting it aside. Unfortunately, ignorance of the law doesn't act as a defense. But, if that informatino wasn't given to you- file a Motion to Set it Aside immediately.
