Niceville, FL Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You should consult an attorney as they will be able to state the terms if your order. If it is unclear an attorney can assist you in getting the order modified.

      To answer your question, the only way to "reverse" or what we would call "modify" the settlement agreement is if 1) it was entered into under fraud or durress, which is a hard burden to prove, and you ask the court to modify the agreement, or 2) if the parties agree to modify it then they can submit a modification to the court.   That said, when was your ex husband supposed to start paying you the $800.00 per month? It would depend on the wording of the agreement so if he was supposed to pay you even before you moved out,  then you could file a motion to hold him in contempt, and in turn, he'd probably file a motion against you. That really doesn't help anyone.  Here's what you and he should do.  If it takes you $2400 to move out, that's 3 months of payments.  Tell him you need those three months of payments and then you'll leave.  He will still owe you a continuing amount, but you can address that later. He cannot simply throw you into the street, but before things escalate like that, try working out this final matter so both of you can go on with your lives and both of you can honor the agreement you made.   Best of luck, Cindy S.

First, it's probably a mistake on your part to leave him everything. In my experience, clients that take that position believe they're doing what they need to do to end things and move on, and then 6 months later regret that decision. Second, if he won't sign the agreement, then your only option is to ask the court to set your case for trial. You should get legal advice before you make a mistake. You should be able to locate an attorney who gives free or low cost consultations, and even if you can't, it's worth paying an attorney for an hour of their time for the consultation.
