I do understand that in Ontario (at least) separation agreements are virtually impossible to change or reverse but I do need to look into this.
Basically my question is this: if key points in the separation agreement were based on knowingly falsified information (namely income) can this be used to have the agreement declared invalid or at least be used to have it reopened and adjusted? Can one party's mental health state at the time of the signing be used to claim that party was in an unfit state to enter into a binding contract like this? Basically there was a significant amount of income not declared by one spouse and the other spouse was being treated for serious mental health issues (including a full time placement in a daily treatment program and multiple medication which some claim can and did impair judgement).
I know this is all kind of vague but I understand that some users here actually know the other party in this agreement and I need to make sure that specifics covered here are not passed on.
Any help in this is greatly appreciated.
