I would ask Socrateaser or your attorney, but I guess it would depend on what she's claiming for change of circumstances.

Check with Soc.

The way I understand it, termination of rights is final. Change in circumstances is irrelavant. If she was forced into signing away her rights under duress (and legally there needs to be a fairly significant amount of duress), then she may be able to fight it.

What is she claiming was illegal about her termination of rights?

The fact that it took her so long to file, doesn't look good for her.

I'm not a lawyer, and Soc will give you more difinative answers.
