Generally and with exceptions, of course, a division of marriage (marital) property is final upon divorce (marital dissolution). An agreement such as you describe may or may not 'hold up'. I urge you to confer with an attorney who can assist you with such an issue.

An n agreement such as the one you describe is a post-nuptial agreement which are not viewed particularly well under Minnesota law. For such an agreement to even have a chance to be enforceable, each party must be represented by counsel and the document must be notarized with several formalities.
You must retain counsel. For a consultation call 6612-240-8005.
