Fraud committed during property settlement.

[Harlan Wisteria]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama (Mobile area) I owned a company with my former husband and it was struggling. We got divorced in 2001 when the company had alot of debt and we were borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. I was dealing with the death of a close relative and my sister's cancer ordeal so I was not in the best mind set for getting a divorce. My husband was cheating on me and I was grief stricken. We arranged a property settlement through mediation since my husband said that the IRS would cause us problems if we decided to fight it out in divorce court. Like an idiot, I went along with it. I received $106,000.00 in property and cash when we divorced. Now I'm fairly sure that my former husband had $500,000.00 socked away in other holding company to keep me from knowing about it. He's very successful now and he just paid off a business loan$990,000.00. He owns a vacation home in a ski area and he also owns the family home that is worth $350,000.00. I'm pretty sure he ripped me off during the divorce mediation and I feel so used and abused. We were married over ten years and we built our company together. We were together about 15 years and we started our struggling firm out of our home. Now I feel like I'm the "innocent spouse" who got ripped off by the savvy con-artist business man. Is is too late for me to drag this guy back to court? I'm now flat broke due to a series of economic, employment, and health disasters. Thank you. Sign me----really mad and seeking financial compensation in Fairhope Alabama.

To have ANY chance of dragging him back into court, you would need to prove all of the following:

1. That he had significant assets in 2001 when you got divorced (the fact that he has money today is irrelevant).
2. That he hid those assets from the court.
3. That you had no way of knowing about them and only found about about the assets and the fraud very recently.

IF you could prove all of those things, it is remotely possible that you could get the property division reopened, but it's unlikely that you could prove all of those things.

Sure you can take him to court, then all you need to do is PROVE your allegations to the judge. Good luck.
