Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Retirement benefits after divorce

I was married to a man for 25 yrs. We are now divorced. I signed an agreement in which we declared that we would not file for retirement benefits from each other's retirement. I get SS, he gets Federal retirement? Is this binding when we are retirement age or are disabled?
