You are at risk of your wife asking for something else, which she could get. Everything is on the table if the judge does not ratify your agreement. Assuming that your wife asked the judge to ratify the agreement in her petition, just send the court, with a copy to her attorney, a paper admitting everything. If she did not ask the judge to ratify the agreement, you need to file an answer asking the judge to do that. Make sure that your agreement is in writing.

If I get a divorce after a long term marriage, what are my rights?

Answered by attorney Julie Anne Ringquist (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Julie A. Ringquist
It sounds as if you may need an attorney to help you move forward, because it looks as if you got stuck after you filed initial paperwork. You need to make a request for orders of Spousal Support immediately, it will not be half of his income, but it will be a significant help. Next, you need to begin finding out exactly what the marital assets and debts are, where they are held, if any significant amounts have been removed by your husband since the separation date, and prepare a proposal to divide things approximately 50/50. If you can't work it out, you will need to go to trial and have the Judge divide things, but you need court orders, not just private agreements in order for it to be enforceable.

Can a mediation agreement be changed if you haven't filed for divorce?

That depends on the specific law of the state where you case is being handled. It also depends on what has happened since the agreement and why. The general rule is that you won't have a definite answer until the judge rules on the arguments over whether or not the agreement is a binding contract. There is no one, simple rule that will control the judge's decision.
