Question:

I just had a hearing with a motion, cross-examination, and response to cross-examination. The divorce decree states that we split the money and wife owes money after 50/50 split. She proved that I did not completely transfer 50/50 and the Judge ruled "denied without prejudice". Does this mean the issue is completely dead or can my wife come back at me at a later time?

 

 

Answer:

"Without prejudice" means that no one is barred from raising a similar claim in the future.
