QUESTION
Can I change my mind and go back to negotiations or to court?
Asked on Apr 08th, 2013 on Divorce - Maryland
More details to this question:
My lawyer and my husband’s lawyer came to a divorce agreement. The day before we were to go to court. I agreed and so did my husband. After seeing the agreement there are quite a few things I thought were in the agreement that were not in it. I have not signed anything. The agreement was done over the phone.

If nothing is signed and all the terms not contained in the agreement you do not have an executed agreement.

Notify your attorney immediately that you are concerned and do not wish to enter into the agreement as it was written.

If the court was not involved then you can reopen the negotiations. You should respond in writing that the agreement does not include all of the matters agreed upon. If they refuse to amend the agreement then you will have to take it to court.

If not reduced to writing not sure how a court could approve the"agreement", so yes you can change it.

Talk to your attorney and say you need additional things to be included before you'll sign it.

As long as not a final order with the Court you can keep negotiating.
