Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
Alter Divorce Agreement
Can spouse change mind if the final divorce has not gone through yet and seek to have the final decree altered? Husband has changed mind about having an uncontested divorce and would like to get half of the martial assets including wife's 401K. Can he do this or is it to late?

Re: Alter Divorce Agreement
There is a period after the divorce decree is entered called the Nisi period. During this period the divorce is not final. If your husband is attempting to make this a contested matter, I would suggest that you talk to an attorney.
