What is the name of your state? Florida.
I am representing myself in my divorce case not by choice but because I lost my job and have no funds to get a lawyer. In Forida you cannot get legal assistance pro-bono unless your divorce involves children.
I recently signed an agreement under extreme duress that I did not fully understand. The General Master has ruled that the agreement was valid. He argued that when a person chooses to represent themselves, the Court assumes you understand legal terminology. I had no choice but to represent myself. I do not understand legal terminology. Now I am in trouble. Do I have any recourse to overturn this agreement?
