once decree nisi in place, can agreed financial settlement be changed?

[arlagirl]

Just that really.

Has the financial settlement been agreed by the court?
If not then it can be changed.

I thought that a financial settlement wasn't written up until decree nisi had been granted. I.e. order was:
get decree nisi
financial disclosures on both sides
get financial agreement written down & signed by both parties
submit with application for decree absolute.

Confused?

What do you mean by agreed financial settlement? Do you just mean things you have verbally agreed so far? Even solicitor letters? Or have you actually submitted a consent order to the court? It's very unusual to have a consent order set aside. You need a very good reason - for example if your XH deliberately lied and hid assets.

Have you signed the consent order?

There is no substitute for professional legal advice about the particular circumstances.

See babybarrister's post above and google Xhydias v Xhydias. IT doesn't matter whether the decree nisi has been granted or a consent has been signed/approved by the court. If there was full disclosure, both parties had the opportunity to take legal advice and the agreement is "fair" (complies with the law) it carries considerable weight. Even though a separation agreement isn't legal binding or enforceable a court can make a legally binding and enforceable court order in the same terms of the agreement so it may not be changed.
