Q: My husband got a divorce from me but he lied to the court to get it. What do i do?
My husband got a divorce from me but he lied to the court about my whereabouts and why we got divorced he never once tried contacting me even though he knew where I lived and knew my number in court he lied and and said I left him because of money issues but I left him because he was abusive to me and he also cheated on me and got the other girl pregnant he was also in the military when this happened also in court on the papers it says we are divorced but the papers don't have my real last name on it I never changed my last name to his name but the paper say his name I also never received a copy of the decree so what does that mean are we still married or are we divorced and is there anything I can do about him lying in court about this also this happened in 2013 but I didn't know I was able to do anything about it
A: You are not still married. You are divorced. Given how much time has passed, you cannot do anything about your ex-husband lying to the court. You may, however, be able to correct your name on your divorce decree by hiring an attorney to file a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc.
