If you have already signed settlement papers, it would most likely be too late to change your mind UNLESS you found information that your soon-to-be-ex spouse hid or kept from you, since his or her fraud (lying about or hiding key information) could provide a basis to void the agreement. But if your spouse did not lie about, hide, etc. anything, then new information would not let you get out of a signed agreement, since only wrongdoing by the spouse would let you do that.]\
If you and your spouse have not yet signed any agrement or commited to one, but just negotiated to what you'd thought would be a fair outcome, you should be able to still change your mind: up to an agreement being accepted, a party can rethink his/her position.
