    Contesting a uncontested divorce
    My spouse and I came to an agreement on our divorce, the papers got filed and she is now wanting to contest it and add to the papers. Can she do it and how can I protect myself and my rights if she can?

    What are the particulars being addressed in the divorce? Are there children?

    1. if they have not been signed and filed she can change her mind anytime they want.

    It is not a "non contested" if one party contests before the final hearing

    Next question then she signed the papers that was filed with the court already. I received the papers that shows her signature and filling date... We haven't been for the final yet. My paper says I have 30 days from the date received to contest it or it will be settled as is.. She is now saying she wants to contest what she had already agreed upon due to her finding out about me having a child with someone else years ago while we were separated. We don't have any kids together so that wouldn't be a factor in the change, Can she contest what she had already signed in front of notary?? Please help!! :(

    She can contest or withdraw her part of the paperwork until the second the court rules. She is fully within her rights to show up at the court and completely reverse everything.

    What is it that she is asking for?
