West Palm Beach, FL asked in Divorce for Florida

Q: Can I reopen my divorce settlement after 5 years in the State of Florida? The reason is in “ More information “

We were married for 18 years and have 2 daughters, I didn’t receive any alimony and I had no legal representation. He wrote the divorce settlement himself and hired a mediator that I never met.

Reopen due to:

*FRAUD

*I SIGNED UNDER DURESS

*PERJURY

*HID ASSETS

*0 ALIMONY

* Did a Quick claim deed to his parents on a few vacant lands in Sarasota before filling for divorce and deeded back to him after divorce as finalized . We bought the lands together when we were married I had no idea of what he was doing behind my back.

Sold our house after 5 months of divorced without my knowledge. When we bought the house both of our names were on the deed.

When divorced was finalized, he was making $200k a year, I sacrificed my career to be a stay at home Mom and take care of everything so he could focus and grow on his career.
