Sometimes, but I would need a lot more facts before I could discuss the matter.

Setting aside a settlement is very difficult if the parties have signed a written agreement or placed the settlement on the record in open court. Without knowing any specifics it is impossible to know whether the settlement you are dealing with can be set aside. Sometimes the issues are not setting aside the settlement, but enforcing the full terms where one party has not performed entirely the way you believe the agreement requires. There are many issues that you would need to meet with an attorney to go over.
