A: This matter is far too complicated for anyone on this site to offer you suggestions as to how to proceed. If you do not already have an attorney representing you, then please consult with an experienced family law attorney in your area. Someone needs to sit down with you and review everything that's already occurred before offering advice and options. If you do have representation, then I would expect that you will discuss your concerns with him or her because your counsel has far more familiarity with the case than anyone in a simple question and answer internet site might. Good luck to you.
