Re: 30 day appeal
He can appeal it, but he is going to have show cause why. As long as you disclosed all your income and assets, he will have a very difficult time getting the terms of the separation agreement changed.
Actually, the divorce is final if not appealed in 90 days, but he still has to file an appeal and show cause.
Talk to your attorney. He is the one best suited to handle your questions. If you no longer have an attorney, please feel free to contact me without obligation.
: 30 day appeal
If the settlement was by way of an agreement, an appeal is really not the correct manner. An appeal is based, usually, on a judgment that a party finds adverse.
