Legal Question in Family Law in California
purgery in divorce
When I divorced my husband 5 years ago, he had stocks that were given to him by his employer. I requested half their value during the divorce and he and his employer (a friend) stated that they were disolved and no longer exhisted. This was all done in writing and in deposition. According to another one of his soon to be ex-wives, After the divorce he was given a vehicle to sell to cash out his stocks. He sold it for 25K. He told her that they were diliberately hiding it from me. Is she a creatable witness for my case? What can I do about this?

You may be able to set aside the divorce award on the grounds of equity and fraud. If you prove your case, you could be entitled to not 1/2 of the 25k, but all of it.
Re: purgery in divorce
I believe that you best approach is to retain an attorney and have the attorney file a motion to divide an omitted asset on the ground that the asset was omitted as he stated that it did not exist. Filing a civil suit for fraud may be a viable claim but more diffucult to prove. The soon to be ex's testimony will be looked at closely by the court as she may be bitter and angry toward him. Her testimony should be corroborated by the chain of title on the car.
