Legally binding. The terms are set forth in black and white print and can be very specific. It is important to heed all instructions written to the letter. Any deviation, without a court hearing, could put one or both parties in contempt of court and face other legal woes. Also important to keep a copy of the settlement in your files.

If one party or the other wants to verbally change some of the settlements, refuse to accept them for legal reasons. Any changes or amendments to the settlement agreement must be made within a court of law, for your protection and for your ex spouses protection ... that way everyone completely understands all the changed details and there will be no questions afterwards.
