Q: I got divorced a year ago and because of stress and I am too nice I did not get close to what I should have financially
Can I file a claim to get what I should have? I was told financials aren't 50/50. I left the divorce with $96k and $56k was what was what I brought to the marriage. My ex made bw 250-300k plus a year.
A:
Generally speaking, you can modify orders relating to children. Orders regarding property can be enforced. If you can show "fraud", for instance, if you can show that your ex spose fraudulently withheld information regarding the value of the community estate or just did not disclose, you may be able to get back in court.
You need to talk to an experienced divorce attorney that litigates property issues to assist you.
