Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I signed a separation agreement under mental and emotional duress (bills ceased being paid - including child support from a previous marriage, groceries not purchased, demands to leave the house and given directions to a homeless shelter).
In desperation and fear of jail and starvation, and with no access to an attorney, I "agreed" to a very low settlement (15,000 and a 5 year old van) to get out of the house and away from the abusive environment. Five year marriage/eight year relationship.
It wasn't until later that it was made clear that I had been "unconscionably" railroaded.
Can this settlement be voided for being unconscionable? It has been over eight months months since separation, but I can't get an answer from her or her attorney as to whether they are continuing ore tenus when I refused to sign the waiver to appear, nor can I locate the case number provided me for more information.

Without reviewing this separation and settlement agreement as well as the

relevant facts surrounding its execution, particularly those

which you claim to have resulted in your being "unconscionably railroaded", I couldn't offer an opinion on the matter.
