My husband's ex-wife is suddenly trying to claim part of his pensions, after having signed off on any such claims. She asked for it in the original divorce decree, but several years later, signed a document drawn by our lawyer, releasing any claim to any sums allocated for spousal maintenance. In exchange for her signing off, we had to pay her a large sum of money. Now, suddenly, we received a notice, filed by her, of a court date. The reason listed is that she's demanding "court-ordered" payment from my husband's pension funds.
We received this notice less than a week before the court date. Can anyone advise us as to whether we should retain an attorney, or just show up in court with the document she signed?
My husband and I have been married 15 years. He was married to this woman for about 10 years, prior to our marriage. They had no children. She works, and owns a business, and is in no way dependent, or needy. Just greedy. I would appreciate any feedback.
