Typically, a Divorce Decree allocates all of the marital assets and once it is filed, the distribution is final. However, in those very rare cases where an asset was not mentioned or referenced, it might be possible to have it allocated after the fact.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
