Q: Can I appeal a divorce Considering I was forced under durress and under the influence. Knowingly by lawyer and ex.
I was threatened by my ex husband and his parents that if I did not sign everything over to him that he would take my kids, press any kind of charges possible and that his parents were taking him out of their will and my children if I did not do this. Yet, we stayed together and I was told that everything was going to be exactly the same. That he was just protecting his children and business that I helped rebuild from the bottom up for 17 years. Yes, I got addicted to Ambien and pain killers. Was having severe anxiety attacks. On the way to rehab we stopped at his lawyers office and I was told that if I didn't sign everything over that I was going to lose my family. His family has a lot of $. We also were very well off but, my ex had got highly involved with the political side of things and now had personal relationships with the DA, judges, magistrates. You name it. I was terrified. Alone. My mother had passed away just 10 months before. Nothing was the same. Yes, I stayed sober.
