If there was no court order approving your "addendum" it probably isn't enforceable and it may be difficult to determine an appropriate remedy. To split a 401k, the law requires that there be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) issued by the Court. If that was never done, you need to go back to court and attempt to correct all the mistakes that have been made by failing to consult an attorney when you negotiated your "uncontested" divorce.

When splitting marital assets and liabilities, you don't necessarily split each individual asset and each individual debt.  Generally, it all gets thrown into the "net worth pool, " so to speak.  Then the net worth is split up.  So, e.g., if one car is worth $12,000 free and clear, and the other car is worth $18,000 but $6,000 is still owed on that car, then one party would take the $12,000 car, and the other party would take the $18,000 car along with the $6,000 car loan.  That would be an even split.  Modify that scenario a little, so that the $18,000 car has $9,000 left to pay on it.  In that case, one party would take the $18,000 car and the $9,000 car loan, and the other party would take the $12,000 car and give the first party $3,000 to even things out.
