Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
decree and prommisory note
My husband and I had a decree notorized which included my husband signing a note and using property for collateral. 4 days later husband was in a behavioral hospital for drinking too much. I had him sign note stated in decree because he said he was going into month long rehab. He did not go rehab. So he went to court 4 days after that with me. He wanted no changes in the decree. The judge could not sign because our wait period was not up. He now says signing the note was illegal on my part because he ''says'' he did not know what he was signing and it is a contempt of court and criminal charge? Is this correct?

Re: decree and prommisory note
He may have an argument that he was not mentally capable of entering into an agreement at that time. But I would want to know more.
