Answer:

It is quite difficult to successfully contest an agreement in NY. She will need to prove that the agreement was unconscionable or that she was coerced or that you engaged in fraud. I would recommend that you consult with a local attorney who can read through the agreement to determine if any of those claims could be successful.
