Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
My wife lawyer drafted a property settlement agreement that stated "It appearing that the parties have resolved the issure in controversy as evidenced by their endorsement of this Order." I signed it and my wife lawyer signed but not her. It was then submit to the court and added to our divorce. Is the agreement valid since it does not fix the wording.

Very likely it is. Her attorney signed the Order, and bound her to its terms; the fact that it indicates that she was also signing it would likely be regarded as nonessential to its being valid.
