Legal Question in Family Law in California

Alimony Terms

I was married for more than 12 years. The terms of the divorce were emotionally devastating. Several years after my divorce was final I realized that I my ex's attorney had put the wrong year of marriage in our divorce. Besides the fact, that I discovered my ex had several assets (i.e. pension) that they put a -0- dollar value. As a result of the wrong year, I am not going to receive the minimum 1/2 the term of marriage. Do I have any recourse?
