It means the Stipulation of Settlement (Agreement) becomes a part of the Judgment of divorce and is fully enforceable as a court order.

Your questions is vague, and so my answer is equally vague. This depends on a number of factors, and so I cannot definitively answer. Are you currently married? Have you been divorced?

Annulments are difficult, and are subject to specific statutory grounds. Given the length of the marriage, it seems likely to be difficult. You will be able to get divorced, provided you can find your spouse and serve your spouse with the appropriate summons.

Custody is rarely based on the ability of one parent to get a job. Its about a lot more than that. It is not likely to be a factor against that party. In order to change custody, there must be a change of circumstances that relate to the best interests of the child. If the mother is without a... View More

You post your location as New Jersey but this is posted in a New York forum. I can only give you advice on New York law. Social Security numbers are unnecessary in a pist nup agreement.

As all the parties now reside in NY the answer is NY law applies. The same is true if only you and the children reside here.

Hi.

Much, if not the entirety of this matter may have to do with the terms of that agreement. Other than that, existing law may afford tenants some rights and protections against landlords under certain circumstances. An attorney cannot properly answer this question, however, without... View More

The best course of action is to have a consultation with an attorney and then retain one to guide you through the process and file all the necessary papers with the court and represent at all stages of the proceedings. You do not need your husbands agreement or permission to start a divorce.
