If you were to file a new suit, the limiting period would be six years. In many situations there are ways to extent the limiting period. However, if the distribution was to be made in accordance with a court order, it may not be necessary to file a new suit. Depending on the history of the case, it may only be necessary to apply to the court for enforcement of the order that has already been issued. That is a faster and much less costly process.

My firm handles matters of this type. If I can be of further help to you, call or email.

The other attorney is correct, six years but there may be other factors involved.

If you are asking about the statute of limitations, is that because this happened a long time ago?

I can help you with this. And I will tell you up front what it will cost to do this for you.
