Here’s one for ya, husband walks out in 1996, week later he takes all the computers, papers, electronics etc…. I find out he’s been planning this divorce for awhile but within 2 months a drunk driver hits me and I lose my left leg. For 2 years my divorce lawyer does nothing, although I try to get him to meet with me. Then he calls and says the divorce will be finalized within a month and says “ woman like you deserve what they get, nothing” My husband had a restaurant so I’m assuming he meant it was a cash business. I fired him on the spot. He turned around and told the judge we had a settlement so the judge wouldn’t see me and I couldn’t get another lawyer to represent me. My husband had also been putting our matrimonial money into an apt. building and the restaurant he owned. Since I had no lawyer I wound up signing my rights away to the building, the restaurant, and everything else. I found and named his famous restaurant and it was a big big money maker. Why? He called me and threatened me and told me if I didn’t he would make sure something would happen to the children in our family. He is Sicilian. I was too terrified to see if he was lying or not. He married someone 3 months later and put everything in their name. That was 1999, he
sold the building recently for 10 million dollars and purchased another one because he was afraid I might come after him. Do I have any recourse? Divorce lawyers say no but are there other type of lawyers that can help me? We were married for 10 years, no children and he put all his money into the business and building, that money should be split between us, right? Threats, fraud, money laundering, illegal aliens working, tax evasion but all I have is one document. He lied on an affidavit his divorce lawyer made him do. Is that not fraud?
Your first attorney should be turned into the bar for saying that to you, but probably too much time has passed and without written proof it would be your word against the attorney’s. If you have consulted divorce attorneys and they say that there is nothing to be done, presumably because your ex’s good financial fortune happened after you and he separated and divorced, then that is probably correct. If he lied about assets that you and he had, then it is possible that either the time for asserting that has passed or you don’t have enough solid evidence of exactly what there was that was omitted from division (you say you have just one document), such that a judge could now ascertain with certainty what it was and what it was worth and divide it now. If you were awarded support, you could talk to a divorce attorney about increasing your support if what you are receiving isn’t enough and your ex has the ability to pay more. But if you are dependent on him for support, be careful about trying to turn him in for any of the bad dealings you are saying he is doing since conviction on those would probably make him unable to pay support.
We are not attorneys and cannot help with your paperwork. Contact the clerk’s office at the courthouse to see if there are any low-cost legal services available in your locale who can help you.
