Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
We have been married 18 years. I have waived my right to receive alimony and feel I was "coerced" into doing so. My husband makes good money, approx $85,000/yr., and I am unemployed and have been for three years. Additionally, my health is bad,making me less desirable for an employer to hire me. I did waive alimony because my husband agreed to continue to provide me with health insurance until I am employed with a company that provides the benefit, or until one year after the final judgment, whichever comes first.
I am feeling remorseful over this. The papers have been signed but not filed. Can a judge actually overturn my decision to waive alimony and "force" my husband to pay?

If the Judge has signed the papers, you have 10 days to appeal. You just file the Notice of Appeal. If your 10 days have expired, unless you have extenuating circumstances that would prevail as to being coerced into signing, you may not have much luck. I suggest you get an attorney ASAP
