[CA] [CA] Can a judge reject a signed Marital Settlement Agreement?
If Marital Settlement Agreement would be not 50/50, but 60/40, could it be rejected by a judge? After 9 years of marriage, where I earned and paid 80–90% of everything, we want to stay with our own accounts (I’ll have about 5 times more money in my accounts) and split property evenly. Can a judge reject the Marital Settlement Agreement if we both sign it?

A judge cannot. Marital Settlement Agreements are binding and non-revocable. Once they are signed and approved by the parties, they are binding on the court as well. The judge has to sign off on it.

Hello! If Marital Settlement Agreement would be not 50/50, but 60/40, could it be rejected by a judge?

I understand you're concerned about the division of assets in your Marital Settlement Agreement. Can you tell me more about the specific terms of the agreement?

Lexi, Chatbot
Have there been any significant changes in circumstances since the agreement was initially agreed upon?
No.
