Q: Is there any way to change a final divorce Judgment because my ex-wife hid money from California court?
Recently found out that my ex-wife didn't
disclose $335,610 in Canadian Bank accounts during our divorce.
Money was from part marriage gifts and
part inheritance. Ex-wife didn't want me
to make a claim on the money so
didn't disclose it.
Her attorney must of known because she had her Canadian taxes that showed her Bank accounts, that's how I eventually found out. Ex-wife claimed to be broke
so all disso-masters were computed
on only my gross income not taking into
account her hidden Canadian bank accounts.
Is there anything I can do to change my situation?
And would the California Family Court even
listen to these facts since this is all post divorce?
A: You can report this to the family court judge as perjury and request an appeal. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney.

A: Depending upon when your divorce was entered, you may be able to set aside the judgment due to fraud. Furthermore, support is always modifiable post-judgment based on changes in circumstances. You should consult an attorney and ask them if the set-aside remedy is available based on the statute of limitations.
