Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Re: Is my post nuptial null and void if...

If you exchanged assets in a manner thatwas not provided for in the post-nuptial agreement,then it would be very adviseable to file an amended Decree that accurately sets out your actual exchange instead of the exchange that was set out on paper and never followed. Why do this? Say you rex-wife dies in a traffic accident and her relatives come across the decree as entered by the court. They could demand and very probably receive what was stated in the decree and not what you did with your ex-wife because she woul dbe dead and couldn't testify about your deviation from the court ordered decree. Do you really want to risk that possibility? It's your call but I would really seriously spend a rather small amount to amend the decree then spend thousands and thousands possibly fighting with my ex's family months or years later. Do as you will at your own peril if you don't amend the decree.
