This depends on when you discovered the fraudulent sale. The statute begins to run when you discover the fraud or reasonably could have discovered it. You don't mention when you were divorced and whether the divorced occurred in California. If it was a California divorce, then the court has ongoing jurisdiction over your ex. Furthermore, if he failed to disclose the sale, then it is actionable under the family court's jurisdiction.
