Evidence is what the court relies upon. Unfortunately you weren't able to produce your receipts, so the judge apparently accepted your ex's version. If you didn't have an attorney at trial, that was probably a mistake. There is always the possibility of an appeal, but there are time limits. You had best consult with an attorney immediately to see if you have any options.
