Q: I have not received any notice of hearing or procedures for divorce decree where my wife of 40years has divorced us
Divorced us in secret from me. I heard finalized March 26th 2020in Clay county of Minnesota. What can be done about no notice on divorce decree? Can I challenge judgment so I can have input into 40years of my life where I am a victim of domestic violence abuse against men by battered husband syndrome by intimate partner violence etc. Can I sue for abandonment and defamation of my character by people who violated my civil rights in 2017 in a legal nightmare family crisis where I filed a civil rights violation complaint against the state, the court, Fargo defender office and 4 members of my family to have dismissed my law case of 2017. Because of the domestic violence abuse of gaslighting tactics targeting me as victim has cost me everything I ever had and now I am homeless in Fargo ND. What can be done about no notice of hearing or procedures for divorce in a 49year marriage?
A:
You say you are homeless. If she did not know how to find you to have you served, she could have served you by publication notice in a newspaper.
Call the Clay County, MN circuit clerk's office. Ask for a copy of your file. Have it emailed to you. See if there is anything you disagree with and, if so, contact a lawyer. Find a lawyer in that county that handles family law. Send the lawyer the dicuments you receive. Talk to lawyer about it and find out if there is anything you can do.
