Re: property settlement
Yes, you can still claim whatever share of the marital property which you believe that you're still entitled to. However, if you signed an agreement in which you clearly waived your interest in the jointly held home in return for an immediate cash payment of $18,000, this could be a problem and one which you will need to discuss with the attorney whom you will need to retain to represent you in the divorce action.
