Generally if a substantive matter is not addressed in a divorce then it is not decided. In certain instances the validity of the divorce is called into question. I urge you to confer with an experienced family law attorney at this time so she/he may assist you. Tricia Dwyer Esq Tricia Dwyer Esq & Assoc PLLC http://dwyerlawfirm.net phone 612-296-9666 Mond-Sat.

You should have included any real estate in your divorce decree. excluding it is an error and a prime reason why you should always have an attorney.

The decree would have to be reviewed to determine what, if any, options you have. If indeed, the asset was omitted, you may have to file an action to reopen the decree with regard to that asset.

For a consultation call 612-240-8005.
