Setting Aside a Divorce Agreement

If you think your divorce judgment should not become final, you can ask the court to be relieved from it. However, this is not an easy task. You must have a specific reason or reasons for your request that the court recognizes.

To be relieved from final divorce judgment, these are the reasons recognized by the court. The court can relieve you from final judgment due to:

• Inadvertence, a mistake, or a surprise of excludable neglect
• New evidence that altered the judgment or order, and, with due diligence, could have been grounds for a new trial
• Misrepresentation, misconduct, or fraud, from the opposing party
• The judgment or order is void
• The judgment order is no longer equitable after it has been satisfied or discharged, or a prior order has been reversed or otherwise vacated

In addition, any application to set aside a divorce judgment must be made within a time limit that is no longer than one year after the judgment was entered.
