What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arkansas
I have been divorced since 1995.
My husband signed a divorce decree that among other things stated that I would get all Arkansas Mineral rights. This year I found out that he held on to Mineral rights in one county amounting to 40 acres. He leased this about a year ago for 14000 and there is a well on the property getting ready to pump. My question is... Is there a Statue of Limitations on Divorce Decrees in AR and if not what to do. He has placed these MR in another persons name after I called him on it and refuses to sign them over. He says there is a SOL and that the Mineral Rights were in his name only. But they were signed over to him during our marriage I believe in 1992 or 3. He says he asked a lawyer about these and the lawyer told him I could not touch them. But the DD does state that I get all mineral rights in Arkansas that we had while we were married.
