I asked my attorney to vacate the settlement. I was promised a court appearance and was manipulated out of it. Divorce date was 8/11. I have tried to find a lawyer in the hometown to take this back to court. I have been so disappointed by the two lawyers I had to pay, I am hesitant to hire another lawyer. To date they have taken my money. and not really done much for me.

A judgment entered 8-11 cannot be vacated absent a showing of due diligence and a meritorious defense. It is very unlikely you would prevail on such a motion. Buyer's remorse will not help you.

It is also way too late to appeal.
