A: Your question does not require legal analysis. And no one can make you do something you do not want to do, unless of course they have a gun to your head. Perhaps you should retain the services of a divorce coach or obtain counseling. I wish you good luck.

Phillip William Gunthert agrees with this answer

A: I would not be doing anything without a conversation with a family law/divorce attorney, that said, I would not give her anything until and unless you get it in writing that this is a post-nuptial complete agreement or similar, last thing you want is to pay out per agreement and find out soon enough that is not the end of it. Be cautious and smart and get counsel.
