Q: My parents divorced about 19 years ago. Divorce decree was not meet by my mother, does father still have a claim?
What is the statue of limitations for divorce judgement where property was suppose to be sold and proceeds split between both parties?
A: The answer depends on the actual terms of the judgment. If the judgment provides that property is owned by the parties jointly, then they still own the property jointly. If the judgment provides that one party owes the other money once the property is sold, then the money may still be owed. Your father should consult with an attorney to determine whether he can still assert his rights under the divorce judgment.
