Boonville, NY asked in Divorce for New York

Q: Is there a way to appeal my divorce decree?

I divorced 3 years ago (wife was cheating on me). I was married for only six years and have had to give her half my pension for the rest of my life, had to give her $200,000 from my 401K and $50,000 from the equity in my home. She kept 100% of her stock portfolio.

A: There are very strict time limits to appeal the decree. Unfortunatley, wanting to appeal after 3 years is to late a Notice Of Appeal had to be filed within 30 days of the notice of entry.
