Can additional issues be listed in a divorce document if we totally agreed about me getting military benefits?

My husband and I were married over 20 years. Upon separating we agreed for me to get what I’m entitled to regarding military benefits. We have adult children and prior to separating, my husband filed Chapter 13;I didn’t want to do but because my name was on the mortgage my name was added. However I did not sign no documents pretraining to the bankruptcy. The Chapter 13 is mentioned in the order along with alimony. Do these last 2 items have to be being we agreed on the military benefits?

If you and your former spouse are in agreement as to additional items with respect to your marital dissolution that were not listed in the marital dissolution stipulation and order, you and the former spouse can do the following:

1. have an amended marital dissolution agreement drafted regarding the additional matters that you agree both agree to where you both sign the document and date it.

2. the amended document is then filed with the court along with a proposed order to the court regarding such to be signed, dated and filed by the judge assigned your matter.
