Legal Question in Family Law in California
I am a divorced mother of adult children. During the divorce, I was forced to turn everything over to him as far as property. I have not been able to seek any money back due to threats, until now. 15 years later. The property included a house that was 2/3 paid off, by me due to his disability. Do I have any legal grounds at this point to regain any of the property back or money from the value that I paid.

If these properties were divided in a divorce judgment over 15 years ago, your period of time to set the judgment aside expired. If any of these assets were not mentioned in the divorce decree, there is a chance you have an omitted asset you can divide. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to assess your legal options.
Unfortunately, you are too late. As mentioned if something was not divided you might have a shot.
I agree with Ms. Kock, if there was a judgment or a settlement agreement, it is too late to change it now. But if it was omitted from the dissolution, then you may have a chance.
