1 Lawyer Answer

A: No, you cannot revoke a divorce. If you were unaware of the previous divorce proceeding and did not receive notice as a result of some fraud or deception by your ex-husband, you could possibly file a bill of review.

Disparity in income standing alone is not a sufficient basis for an award of spousal maintenance. A spouse may be entitled to spousal maintenance if that spouse lacks the ability to earn sufficient income to provide for the spouse's minimum reasonable needs AND has been married to the other spouse for 10 years or longer. Your previous attorney may have determined that you do have the ability to earn sufficient income to provide for your own minimum reasonable needs.
