Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

modifying judgment/order

Generally speaking, judgments/orders concerning dissolution of the marriage can be modified by consent. In NC, it's a relatively simply process whereby the Consent Order is drafted by an attorney, signed by the parties, and the atorney approaches a judge for a signature. You need to contact an attorney specifically in your state.

Redoing a "dissolution agreement"

You haven't provided enough information to give a really good answer, because you haven't stated specifically what part of your affairs that the agreement covered (i.e., property division, alimony, child support, etc., etc.). In my state (NC) any kind of agreement can be modified. But it might make a difference if it has become part of a court's order. And in NC (and I would assume all states), the court ALWAYS can have the final say-so concerning child support, no matter what the two parents may have agreed. You'd better run your ideas by a lawyer in your state to prevent future problems.
