The division of asset as listed nor properly divided. I was never given a copy of the divorce decree and zero asset where listed and no pension was granted on my behalf as it waws martial property.

A default judgment can be set aside by the judge. Simply claiming the property wasn't properly divided may not be enough. The judge will need to know why you didn't do anything before now. If it is set aside, it begins anew.
Due to lack of agreement of the division of property.

I have no doubt it is stressful. That is why I and other attorneys try to ensure everything is final (or easily finalized) when the judgment is signed. Did you have an attorney 15 years ago?
Obviously, you can try to convince him to take you off the mortgage yourself. You could hire an... View More

In most civil cases, you do not have the right to a court-appointed attorney. This includes dissolution (divorce), custody/parenting time, and child support cases. In these cases you have the option to hire a private attorney. Some organizations use a sliding scale to charge for legal services... View More

Perhaps or perhaps not. It depends on numerous and various factors. The business could very well be martial property or it could be separate property depending on the situation.

When i got accepted to college and i asked my dad for my college fund he told me no. What can i do? (The divorce papers have account numbers of the fund)
answered on Nov 2, 2023
He said "no" or he said he didn't set up the account? College funds are generally trust funds controlled by the Trustee who generally provides in the Trust fund document that he has discretion. That would prove a difficulty especially since you don't want to antagonize him.... View More

If I'm being held in contempt for not providing all the ATM withdrawal dispositions. Why can't I ask the same?

A lie detector test isn't worth a thing. You can request information as well. I am sorry, but it doesn't seem you have a good grasp of what is happening. The court has information on its website and the law library is a great resource. Obviously, an attorney would be advantageous.
My wife was present and her lawyer and I was in jail for threatening her and next morning I was in court they got granted the order but I feel I was denied my rights and nobody cares.

The United States and Minnesota Constitutions both establish the right to an attorney for anyone facing a charge punishable by “loss of liberty.” This would not apply to protective orders.

If you are asking about attorney fees, it will vary. Generally, a relatively sizeable retainer is required. After a few calls, you will have an idea of the costs. Some attorneys are reasonable and some are not. Some attorneys are flexible and some are not. I am prevented from quoting figures.

Can I ask that he pay a portion of the bills that I paid during that time, in the divorce? My monthly income is $4,000 and his monthly income is $4,000 - $6,000. Also, I got him the job that he has now. He told me that I am not entitled to any of his income.
answered on Aug 11, 2023
Unless there is a prenuptial agreement that states otherwise, your incomes would be marital property. You can ask that he pay a portion of the bills that you paid during that time, I don't know what the judge will do.
