LR1

Joe is a very honest and insightful lawyer. I went to mediation to reach an agreement with my husband. I just wanted to get it over. I signed an agreement where we each got our own retirement account. My husband’s retirement was $750,000 and much larger than mine. My sister in law is a real estate paralegal and told me divorce agreements were modifiable. I figured I could go modify it later. When I met Joe, he said that since the divorce was signed and approved by the court that I could not modify it. He said asset divisions are permanent unless there was some time of fraud. Boy did I learn a lesson, DO NOT LISTEN TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR ADVICE, even if they are a paralegal. That was an expensive lesson. I did not end up hiring Joe, but I did appreciate his honesty and compassion on this issue.
