Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Explain Extrinsic and Intrinsic fraud and the differances.

Would Intrinsic be a fraud committed in court and extrinsic be a fraud committed out of court ? This has to do with Florida 1.540(b)

I've read Parker v. Parker and DeClaire v. DeClaire and am still confused. Apparently I need to prove Extrinsic Fraud of an Financial Affidavit because it can go back, verses an Intrinsic which goes back only a year.

Thank you,

Layman
