Unless there was some sort of agreement that the parties can walk away from the agreement after signing within a certain time frame, such as ten days, I don't see how a Judge can set this aside.

He really needs to file for a modification of custody and child support. He should file the papers immediately to get custody of the kids; then go through the evictionprocess to get her out of the house. Once she is out, he could either move back in or get tenants. Either way, he should meet with an attorney immediately.
