If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

There is no such thing as a mistrial in a divorce. It is reserved for a criminal proceeding. If you felt that there were irregularities you would have had to file for a rehearing or a new hearing within a certain time frame which has long since passed.

At this time, you can move to modify the final judgment however unless you can prove your allegations with substantial proof, the court is unlikely to grant any modification.
