Legal Question in Family Law in California
What can I do if my ex wife is trying to take me back to court to reverse the spousal support that will be dropped. We both agreed to this as one of the terms in our divorce. Can she really do this? And what can I do to stop this process? Please help

There is no way to answer your question without looking at your divorce judgment. Sometimes agreements on spousal support can be set aside, and sometimes they can't. The judgment would be the place to determine which is the case in your case.
Exactly! One needs to look at the wording in the Judgment regarding the termination or reservation of spousal support. Another major factor is the amount of time that has lapsed since the Judgment was entered. I would highly suggest that you speak with a specialist in family law and that you bring a copy of your judgment with you when you do so.

As the other two gentlemen stated before me, I would need to see a copy of the Judgment. I can tell you that you probably cannot prevent your ex from trying to reopen that issue. However, it sounds like you may have grounds to defeat the request.
