Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

Can I appeal parts of our divorce decree if it is later revealed my ex-wife was hiding information during our divorce?

She gave birth to a child that was not mine in 2005 only a few months after our divorce. She hid the fact that she was pregnant during our divorce proceedings.

If I had known of her infidelity and the fact she was pregnant with another man's child while we were married I never would have agreed to many of the settlements we reached in our divorce judgment.

Please advise if there are any actions I can take against her for concealing information and essentially lying throughout our divorce proceedings.

Question:

I need some financial advice on divorce. During our divorce, my wife said it was impossible for her to find out how much money was in her retirement account, so we left it alone.

I recently discovered that she can find out the exact amount and it is substantial.

How can I get the court to re-open our property division settlement to include these assets she lied about?

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for parties in a divorce to "tweak" their financial statements to better suit their needs, particularly in child support cases.

But what happens when years down the road you realize that your ex was not disclosing her true income on the financial affidavits or keeping her salary increases a secret from the court? Is it possible to reclaim some of the child support you have paid?

In a situation like that, you need to immediately file a supplemental petition for modification of the child support obligation.

Question:

I have to pay a huge lump sum alimony. I am currently in contempt and threatened every day.

My ex-wife recently forged my name to an insurance check and loan modification paperwork in which one of her friends notarized. She is determined to ruin me.

Is there hope of relief from the courts based on her actions?

Question:

I have been married for eleven years, and for three of those years I have wanted a divorce. During the marriage, my wife had an affair and got pregnant. For nine years after that, I thought the child was mine but a DNA test proved differently.
