What are the chances of a divorce agreement being modified regarding property? To summarize, my ex-wife signed the agreement four months ago, and the divorce was finalized about two months ago. Now she wants to fight it, claiming it’s unfair to her. She says I hid assets from her, but I listed those assets in the agreement. She claims she never saw them and now wants the whole agreement thrown out and to start over regarding property. How often does this happen? Can it really happen?
She signed the agreement? Did she have a lawyer? Can she prove fraud or that you withheld information? Can she prove duress? Four months is not a long time, so I’m saying it’s not likely. But don’t tell her that. Just say nothing for now.
Absolutely no chance. If the assets were listed when she signed, she cannot claim to have never seen them.
Almost no chance if the documents were produced and assets listed. You should ask your attorney, but also notify her that you will be requesting attorney’s fees for defending against her request.
What kind of assets are we talking about? If they were clearly listed, it seems unlikely she can win this.

I included things like bank accounts and property, so they should be clear.
Is she going to keep living with the idea of the domestic abuser? If your assets were clearly listed, that should hold up in court.
If she’s not involved in making decisions about the assets and they were all disclosed, it seems she’s just trying to create drama. It’s best to stick to the facts.

Exactly. I just want to move on without more complications.
You should gather all your documentation and be prepared. If everything was above board, you should be fine.
Keep your lawyer informed about her claims. If she’s just trying to stall, it should be easy to dismiss.
