What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California/Missouri
I have a divorce action in two states, California and Missouri. So I cut a deal with the ex in Missouri (she lives in Calif) and part of that deal was that once I paid her off, she was responsible to have the case in California "Dismissed with prejudice". I have now paid her off and have been informed that the California case cannot be dismissed with prejudice. I have been further informed that it never could be. My agreement to the buy out was soly based on my desire to get the action in California over with. I would have never agreed if I had known this. My question: Is this true, and what are my options?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
