More details to this question:
spouse has shown the agreement to his sister-in-law who has taken it into the law firm she works for and shown it to attorneys there. Is this legal or even ethical. Now, my spouse may want to start all over with a new attorney...changing the verbally agreed to settlement. which was fair. Is this allowed? Is it ethical for his sister-in-law to show a private document to attorneys unrelated to the case. if this happens we will both have to pay a lot more money and I don't want too.....basically is it legal and ethical for her to have done that. What can I do ???Thank you....

There is nothing illegal about it. There was no agreement without signatures. She can certainly seek other advise, even from an attorney, and there is nothing unethical about it.
