Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky
Can I still get restitution from my ex-husband due to having to leave my home in 2007 because of adultery and violent temper. I had been a housewife for more than 25 years and had to relocate to florida because I had become anxorexic, etc. I left Pennsylvania in 2008, moved to FLA, went to school and now remarried in 2010.
My exhusband got the divorce, but the home he and his current wife are living in is still in both our names. I never receive alimony or any help as a displaced housewife.
Can you help me.

If you weren't awarded maintenance by the court at the time of your divorce, the time has already passed for appeal. Even so, since you've remarried, you would have lost the maintenance anyway. As for the house, it would have been decided in the property settlement agreement who got the house. You probably should have executed a quit claim deed to turn over the house to him. A lot of times the PSA is silent on the issue of mortgage refinancing, which keeps you on the hook for the length of the mortgage and ties up your credit. Kentucky jurisdictions differ as to whether to order refinancing post-divorce if the PSA was silent.
Also, I don't see how Kentucky even has jurisdiction here. You mention Pennsylvania and Florida, but not Kentucky.
