What is the name of your state? Colorado If we signed the dissolution of marriage agreement in July but the court date wasn't until December, that's when the judge signed it, then was the July date officially when we were divorced or December? After the July date there were changes made all the way up to October. The reason for the inquiry, my ex did not disclose that he was building a new building and opening another store. Supposedly, by his financial affidavid there wasn't any surplus of money yet in September he had money for the above mentioned. There is much more to the story but I will wait to see if anyone has any advice before writing a book. Thanks
