Q: Post decree question
Other parent ran to Mexico to avoid prosecution but we could not prove that was the reason during trial as those records were sealed(theft from federal employer). Now that court is over we found out that there is a federal grand jury indictment pending that could also affect this persons citizenship. On top of this a court ordered psychological evaluation was done and results were that this person has a personality disorder. Is there anyway to file something now even though the judgment was made months ago to show she perjured herself the entire case and has pending charges? That reunification is not in the child's best interest?
A: It is sometimes possible to re-open a decree when important evidence has been newly discovered. This is not an easy process and I strongly recommend that you consult with and obtain the services of a family law attorney.
