Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My ex-wife�s lawyer prepared papers for our final decree of divorce. My wife and I met at a notary public together to sign the papers. At the time, we agreed to amending the final decree and my wife struck through the lump sum cash amount and changed the figure. We initialed the changes and signed the forms at the notary. I just got a letter in the mail from her attorney saying that the agreed form is unacceptable and they are proceeding to trial. Is the signed and notarized final decree have good odds of being held up and ruled in favor of in court?

Based on what you have written, you may want to consider retaining your own law firm to assist you. When you and your wife decided to sign an agreed order, why didn't either of you go ahead and set the order for entry by the Court. Whether or not the signed agreed order will be accepted by the Court depends upon which Court you case is pending in.
