Q: During my divorce my ex claimed he earned a certain amount and couldn’t afford alimony
6 months after the divorce he bought new furniture, new truck , vacations , and is spending alot of money on his next wedding. Can I subpoena his financial forms from the sale of his new truck to prove he lied about his income during our divorce? Is there some way I can get the courts to compare his claimed income from our divorce to that on his truck finance form?
That’s just it. I have nothing to move on with. I had a lawyer that took all the money I had thinking he had a piece of cake job. He fought for nothing. He resigned at the divorce proceedings so I had to go to court alone. I have nothing
A: Is there some way I can . . . (fill in the blank with what ever legal issue you have). Yes, there is - hire an attorney who knows what they are doing. If you had transmission trouble and you aren't a mechanic, you'd never think to yourself, you know what, I'mma pull that sucker out and fix it myself. The same is true for legal work if you aren't an attorney. Heck, you'd likely have better odds of correctly fixing the transmission yourself than doing your own legal work correctly. At this point, you have likely had your bite at the apple and came up short. if you had an attorney represent you during the divorce, you should discuss the matter with your attorney. If you didn't, you likely ought to consult with one now just to be on the safe side and see if there is anything that can be done but likely the better option is to just move on. Best of luck.
