Hiya
I’m looking for some advice. I had my final hearing in Dec 2021 and settlement was agreed minutes before we went in front of the judge. After, nearly 3 years of battling my ex wife, which was awful and extremely stressful.
Anyway we finally agreed on a settlement very similar to what I previously offered openly to agree. Wasted a lot of time and money !
Now we have an agreed signed settlement or Financial court remedy. I want to know if my ex wife is able to contest or challenge the order in place ?

It's not clear whether an order has been made by the Court. You talk about a signed settlement but was this ever submitted to the court for approval?

Yes it’s was an official court order agreed and signed off after we agreed to settle before going in front of the judge.

Reopening the whole order would only be possible in rare and extreme circumstances or if there was evidence of fraud.
There may be elements of the order that could be open to variation e.g. spousal maintenance. The order would usually have a clause about timing and implementation - applications may be made to alter timeframes but not the substance of the order.
What is it she wants to change??

We agreed to sell all investments assets. After all properties sold there is a minimum amount I need to receive in part of my settlement figure. If it drops below she has 3months to pay me the difference. Can she avoid this, it’s what she agreed in the order. Housing market is low so it’s likely this clause will come into affect. I worried she will try and wiggle out of it !
