Post-settlement demands

My ex-husband and I had discussions in March 2006 about how to divide our property. We signed a settlement agreement two months later that did not include all of our previously discussed issues. At a recent court hearing he demanded that I pay him half of an apartment deposit that he says I promised to give him before we signed the settlement agreement in 2006 (though the settlement agreement did not include this). My attorney informed his attorney that this was not a viable claim because our property settlement could not be renegotiated now. His attorney dropped the issue. Now, along with some other threats, my ex-husband is threatening to sue me in small claims court for this deposit. My view is that once the settlement agreement is final, you cannot go back and renegotiate except for under some very limited circumstances, and it does not matter what promises were made before the settlement (he made some promises that weren't kept either). Am I right about this? I've tried to explain to him that he has no claim here but he continues to harass me about it. Thanks!What is the name of your state?

If your settlement agreement has language to the effect that it is the final disposition for all property, assets and debts, then tell ex-hubby to put up or shut up. Either sue you or go away.
