Can you go back to court & change agreement?


Texas.

My ex and I agreed to an amicable divorce and decided to write our own agreement. My ex chose the lawyer to do the filing, one he had used before. I was pressured to just accept what my husband said the worth of our property was. He made threats to just sell every thing and then see what I would get. We co-owned a business and rental properties. He said he could always just start over. I would like to have a judge hear everything and decide if I really got a fair deal. Is this possible?

You would need to contact a lawyer and speak to them. If your husband KNOWINGLY led you to believe the property was worth less you may or MAY NOT have a right to recover. The judge COULD tell you that you should of investigated more before accepting the offer... but he/she COULD give you a say. No-one can really say for sure, that's why I suggest contacting an attorney for nothing less then a free consult.

You're an adult and you signed an agreement without force. You can try, but it might cost you more than anything you're entitled to, if you are entitled to anything more.
