What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? In KY can an old divorce be disputed after a person has remarried?

On what grounds? What is the background? What are they disputing?

It is unlikely that the divorce would be 'un-granted', but there are certainly lots of circumstances where a property settlement or support issue could be re-opened.

on the grounds of fraud! The ex is claiming she did not know she was divorced & she was not told about the divorce until two years after it was granted.

We need a bit more information than that...

Are you saying that the recipient was never notified?

Did she move around a lot? Avoid service? Could she have been served by publication and just simply not known?

What type of fraud are you thinking about?

If the court granted the divorce, it is unlikely that they would reverse it, so the divorce is a done deal.

However, if she can prove fraud, she MAY be able to re-open the property settlement and/or support issues.

Furthermore, if the other party can show that she was properly served and failed to show up, then she's probably not going to have a case at all.

Crackhead stuff..... she could not be found, so she was never served with the divorce papers however, she has a womens advocate lawyer whom has taken the case on the grounds of fraud. The whole ordeal is bogus! She wants money, half of the retirement, etc.... the divorce was granted in 2002 after sitting in court for 14 months!

What's your involvement, OP? Are you the ex?

NM re-read it lol.

If she didn't get her share of the marital property, its possible that the property settlement portion of the divorce could be reopened.

It would be unusual for it to be possible this far out, but if she has an attorney who is willing to take the case it would likely be in your best interest to get one as well.

I am presuming she also failed to "take" half the marital debt?

How did these compare, dollar wise? She can't ONLY go after the part that is advantageous and ignore the part that is dis-advantageous. How much was the marital debt, compared to the marital assets?

Also, did she diminish marital assets by using them for drugs? I handled two foreclosures this year in which the wife became a druggy, and she had damaged walls by punching holes in them, and gone through about $50,000 in maritital funds to feed her habit. She significantly diminished the home value.

Did you publish in accordance with your state law?
