Q: What if my spouse published the divorce notice in her state newspapers not in my state newspapers where I lived at ?
And I couldn’t make a reply to that divorce to her attorney office and I have 30 days to reply to the divorce notice? And she published in her newspaper 3 different newspapers in her state with the wrong address and zip code of my and she got divorce and same day she got her divorce decree papers she got married again the same day she got her divorce decree. Is her second marriage is real ? Or is my divorce real or not?
A:
If a court signed a divorce decree, your divorce is “real” and you have a limited time to file a motion for new trial, an appeal, a restricted appeal, or a bill of review. These can be legally technical and costly remedies and you need the services of a competent and experienced appellate lawyer familiar with divorce law to help you determine which remedy (ies) are available and right for you in your case.
You should anticipate paying an initial $25,000 retainer so be sure whatever you are fighting over in your divorce decree (house, retirement account, personal property, child custody, support, etc) is worth it.
