I have what I think is a unique situation and question. Due to serious medical issues that arose during our divorce and a need to qualify for medicaid, my ex-wife signed a separation agreement where she relinquished all rights/claims to any of our marital assets, my pension & 401K, our house, etc. We both had our own legal representation and there was additionally another attorney in the middle with a specialty in elder-care law and medicaid matters. She was advised that the above was necessary in order to legally qualify for medicaid and SSI. Outside of the agreement we verbally agreed that I would continue to help her financially as I was able, which I still do.
Whenever we have a disagreement/dispute she threatens to go to another attorney and file to have the original separation agreement re-written…can she do this?
The above (sep agreement & divorce) took place between 2004-2006.
Also, if I re-marry what happens if she does in-fact tries to get the above changed?
Thank you,
SJ
