Can a spouse withdraw their divorce agreement?

If a divorce application is signed by husband and wife agreeing on how the assets will be divided, and mailed to the court, and a week or 2 later one of the spouses wants to modify the way assets are distributed but the other spouse says no......can that application be modified once signed by the couple and yet still needs to be signed by the judge?

Until reviewed by the court and made a part of the final divorce decree, either spouse may withdraw their agreement.

I understand this situation can be stressful. Have both spouses already signed the divorce application agreeing on how the assets will be divided?

Both spouses have not signed yet.

I am asking just so I know what the law is. My wife and I will sign next week; however, I just want to know if she changes her mind after signing, will she be able to amend or renegotiate, even if I don't want to?

Have any court hearings or proceedings taken place regarding the divorce application yet?

No. We are both doing this with a paralegal.

We are currently both in agreement on how to divide the assets. My concern is that I am staying with cryptocurrency assets that are increasing in value and I am afraid that she will want to modify the application after signing ....modify the application 2 weeks later or 4 months later.....Can she, or what is done is done and signed for?
