I have an original signed and notarized Marital Settlement Agreement attached to my divorce case from three years ago that was dismissed due to reconciliation between the parties.
Now, the same spouse/petitioner has once again filed for divorce. I note in the original MSA the following: "Reconciliation: In the event of a reconciliation or resumption of marital relations, this Agreement or its provisions shall not be abrogated in any way without further written agreement of the parties." Does this mean the court will uphold this agreement as it pertains to the new divorce case? I already know that the petitioner is opposed to this. To this point neither of us has an attorney and his plan is strictly DIY.
