You mentioned the amount of money is laughable - 4 years of salary. You may not be happy with this outcome, and once you sign awat your right to a legal battle, you might regret it.

Jeff Bezos likes to optimise for regret minimisation, that's what he did when he decided to build Amazon. In your case:

- If I miss 4 years of salary over doing this, how much am going to regret it? I personally won't that much.

- If I change your mind about this after settling I can't do anything about it. That's going to be a huge regret for me.

Perhaps deep inside you know you should do this legal battle but you're getting resistance from your family. Just like ksternerud said - explain and discuss with your family the potential outcomes and regrets.

I am not a lawyer and don't really know any lawyer who can help. I haven't been through this, nor do I have kids.
