Question #15: I live in NY State. I have been married for about 14 years and have one child of 9 years age. My husband served me divorce papers this year on the grounds of “cruel and inhuman treatment”. Last year, I signed a Post Marital Agreement. I am employed for the past three or four years, however, accumulated enormous debt (to a tune of 55000 dollars). Is this post marital agreement valid and thus i will become ineligible for the house (which is in his name) and his retirement benefits?

It is impossible for me to tell you whether the Agreement you signed is

legally enforceable without reviewing it. Did you have legal counsel when you signed it?

Did you understand the terms of the Agreement? Were you coerced by your husband to

sign it against your will?

You must consult an attorney experienced in divorce matters in your area to

review the Agreement and discuss the matter further. If you are located in the NYC metro area,

please call me at 212-370-1660 to discuss the matter at greater length.

DO NOT SIGN ANY MORE PAPERS WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING A LAWYER!
