Yes you still have a right to the undisclosed assets and assets that were no dealt with in the judgment. In addition you may be entitled to a penalty of up to 100% of the undisclosed asset. Get an attorney. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

In a general sense, if your wife failed to disclose the existance of assets in her preliminary and or final declarations of disclosure, there is case law to support the proposition that you should be awarded ALL of the undisclosed assets.

For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
