You’re in the final stages of your divorce negotiations. The attorneys for both sides are busy drafting a property settlement and divorce agreement that will legally bind the actions of you and your (soon to be) ex-spouse for many years to come. This is a very emotional time for both parties and, in their haste to complete the process, it is not unusual that certain legal issues are vaguely addressed or, in some cases, omitted in their entirety. Just ask anyone who has been through the process and you will be hard pressed to find someone who did not experience some post-divorce issues not covered by their agreement.

The remedies to these omissions depend upon the relationship (or lack thereof) of the divorcing parties. The “amicable parties” can usually find common ground and mutually agree to correct unaddressed problems or issues. “Warring parties” may have no other choice but to live within the terms of their agreements or pursue legal means to correct or clarify their issues.
