Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

There are errors in my divorce decree and I would like to know how to go about correcting the issues or appealing the divorce.

I believe there is a timeline to contesting the divorce judgment, but I have not heard back from my divorce lawyer.

Should I request an adjustment from the courts myself or what other options are available to potentially appeal my divorce?

Question:

I recently had child support and child custody modified. But on appeal those orders were vacated because Virginia (where the final divorce decree was entered) no longer had jurisdiction over the case.

So does the previous order before the appealed modification stand? What are the current orders?

Question:

My ex-wife filed for divorce in a county in California before meeting the 90-day residency requirement. She simply lied in the divorce papers and said we split three months earlier. Can I file an appeal of the divorce decision based on the court not having jurisdiction in the first place?

Attorney, Cordell & Cordell

Domestic cases, such as divorce, child custody and child support cases, are appealable in the same way that other civil cases can be appealed. You do not have the right to appeal just because the judge did not rule in your favor. 

Question: Recently, custody was awarded to my wife. I was not present at the hearing due to the fact I was unaware of the date. 

After reviewing the courts facts of the case, I know she and her attorney were making tons of false statements, including the biggest lie about not having a boyfriend when in fact she not only has a boyfriend, but the guy is living with her and my children! 

How can I get this decision overturned or alert the court that my ex is blatantly lying? Is it too late to do this?
