You really cannot modify your divorce settlement once it the divorce has been finalized unless you can demonstrate that that agreement was signed under fraud, under duress or that you were coerced in some manner.

The court likes to be able to have the finality of a settlement agreement and once you sign on that dotted line just the fact that it may not be equitable and it may not be completely fair to both parties, the court has to assume that you understood that this was going to be a binding agreement and that you intended to be bound by all of the terms of that agreement.

Therefore, unless you have substantial grounds to demonstrate that there was a problem, a substantial problem, with the agreement that maybe you weren't aware of such as maybe there was some financial dealings of your spouse that you were not aware of when you signed the agreement the settlement agreements are considered binding and final.
