Springfield, MA asked in Arbitration / Mediation Law and Divorce for Massachusetts

Q: Can I present information to a judge now that was not presented correctly during my divorce?

I had hired a lawyer who gave my case to an intern or brand new attorney who was not familiar with how to present a case of domestic abuse including rape, physical, emotional and verbal abuse due to alcoholism. These trusts were not presented to the judge or to the lawyer of the spouse and if done so I feel would have produced a different outcome. I don't feel I was properly represented and was taken advantage of by being advised to mediate. Please help.
