As far as i understand from whatever you have told me, your wife cannot just simply return the money and go for contested divorce case. the most important thing is that whether the judgment has been passed or not and whether a decree has been drawn or not.

If an estranged wife, after filing for divorce through mutual consent and took money under an agreement, takes a U-turn and subsequently withdraws consent for divorce and force the husband to pay more money, then such a step itself is a valid ground for divorce and such U-turn cannot be allowed to be used to harass the husband.
