Is there any way to get a Prenuptial agreement thrown out in Louisiana

My husband and I have been married for 25 years. Before we got married within 24 to 48 hours I signed a prenuptial agreement. In the prenuptial agreement all properties are separate moveable or immoveable whether before marriage or during marriage, and also we are not responsible for each other debts. Now we are getting divorced and he just received his retirement and I thought I was entitled to half. I did not know that signing the prenuptial agreement would have affected the retirement, because they only informed me that it was for the property that he owned before the marriage. Is there any way to get the prenuptial agreement thrown out in Louisiana being that I did not clearly understand the document, was not represented by and attorney and he was, and I signed it within such a short period of time? Also my credit has been ruined because of him. He�s started several business and they did not work so we had to file bankruptcy 3 times, so there is no community property any way. Is it possible for him to just walk away smelling like a rose leaving me with nothing?

You need to find a lawyer who really specializes in community property law. I'm not optomistic for your chances but other lawyers might know more than I do.
