Legal Question in Family Law in California

You are missing some facts here. How do you have a divorce case that you not know about? You had to be served, if you were not then move to set aside the judgment. If you were then you are probably stuck. Have a lawyer review the case for a better idea.

If the judgment is less than 6 months old from entry, you can set it aside based on mistake, inadvertence ,surprise and or excusable neglect. The courts favor resolutions that are a fair equal division of community property.

If the judgment entry dividing your property is older than 6 months, you can still set it aside based on fraud. If you ex lied to the court and or misrepresented notice of this legal action to you, that's fraud.

If your ex failed to list and divide community assets in the judgment, those assets are still divisible as omitted assets. Please immediately meet with an experienced family law attorney to assess your legal options. Time is of the essence!

The previous answers are correct. I write to focus you on the fact that the longer you wait the less chance of relief. You will not get the help you need on the internet. Call a qualified family law attorney Tuesday morning.
