Q: There's a mistake on my final divorce decree is it still Legal it's a written mistake

I was unable to get a lawyer I've been a stay at home mom since I was 6mo prego our son is 3 he filed I couldn't afford council so he was awarded primary custody we have joint custody there was mental verbal emotional and some physical abuse and he cheated and I have proof of everything which I was not allowed to show in the hearing. I got screwed. There was a restraining order and it was broken was told by police they were tired of coming here. He was peeping in my windows at night videoing me while I was sleeping and weird videos of our son as well. The mistake in the papers is the date that I was served the original papers the divorce was revised a couple times

A: A mistake as to the date you were served the original petition would not likely warrant a set aside of the divorce decree. However, to obtain a definitive answer to your specific situation, you should consult with an attorney who can review your decree and discuss your options with you.
