Can I change the minute of agreement?

There are some circumstances where the terms in a separation agreement can be changed.

These are rare and have to be approved through the court. Changes to the separation agreement usually come when one party has been deceived by the other about one of the clauses in the agreement. In these circumstances, the minute of agreement will be altered to ensure that both parties receive what they are entitled to.

It is important that you go to someone who is expert in dealing with agreements like these, so you can be sure that any agreement you sign is legally binding and enforceable.
