Dear Anonymous:
Not knowing what you signed, this is difficult to answer. If your husband approached you and had you sign something that is supposed to be a settlement of all issues involved in a divorce, then the next question becomes: was there full and complete financial disclosure between both of you before you signed the agreement?
Absent full financial disclosure, a court will typically not enforce a settlement agreement. In addition, if you were truly coerced, threated or impaired in some manner so that youo were unable to make clear decisions, the court can also decline to enforce an agreement.
Of course, your questions does not even indicate if there was a pending divorce action at the time the document was signed, let alone whether all issues that are involved in a divorce have been addressed in the agreement.
You truly should consult with an attorney sooner rather than later. If you did sign something that can be "used against you" acting quickly may help you avoid adverse and unintended consequences. An attorney who focuses on family law should be able to answer all of your questions and help you.
Best of luck,
