Re: money
The divorce may be able to be set aside due to fraud, but you would need to review the case with an attorney to be sure.
The answer to the question about the wife's lawsuit settlement will depend on a number of factors, such as what the nature of the lawsuit was, whether the money was commingled with marital funds in joint accounts, and so forth. I would encourage you to speak with a family law attorney to go over your rights in this situation. Please let us know if we can be of service.
