Re: Can I revisit a final settlemen?
It would be very difficult to change a settlement that you voluntarily entered into without very clear evidence of fraud and duress. Also, it has been a very long time since said agreement. Courts do not like to distrub past rulings without really good reasons. You may be better served by filing for a modification if there are children involved and seeking an increase in child support.

No. You waited far too long.
