Separation Agreement Validity Concerns

Full Conversation

I have a signed separation agreement and my ex is trying to get his lawyer to basically say our agreement isn't valid
Hi Crystal, could you please tell me in which country or state this agreement was signed? This information will help me provide you with the most accurate information.
Virginia
Hello Crystal, in Virginia:
- Separation agreements are generally enforceable if they are notarized.
- They can be challenged for fraud, duress, or unconscionability.
Could you please share more details about your ex's claim?
It is notarized
Hello Crystal, if your separation agreement was notarized in Virginia, it is generally considered valid. However, it can be challenged if your ex can prove fraud, duress, or unconscionability. Can you provide more details about his claims?
He agreed to me having sole legal custody and he doesn’t agree with the amount of child and spousal support he agreed too
In Virginia:
- Child and spousal support amounts can be modified by a court if there's a significant change in circumstances.
- Disagreeing with the agreed amount doesn't automatically make the agreement invalid.
Is your ex showing any significant change in circumstances?
He is hiding his income hes really not showing the hours he is working
In Virginia:
- If you suspect your ex is hiding income, you may request a court to order a discovery process.
- This could reveal his actual earnings.
- It's advisable to get legal help for this process.
