I need to set aside my divorce judgement. There are several different reasons and I need to know which would be most effective and advise on how to do it. We were married 10 yrs and have 3 children under 13 yrs. My ex has a six figure income. I stayed home with the kids. My ex got the house and all of the community property. Because of this he was able to get 80% timeshare of the kids. I didn't have an attorney at trial but he did. He didn't include all his income because it was commissions and he gets numerous benefits including a company car, computers, phones... I found money accounts he had hidden from me and lied about on documents and at trial. I was forced to live in our camping trailer because I havent been able to find income and I only receive $800 in support. My ex is allowed to deduct payments for a storage unit containing my belongings and the loan payments on our trailer which leaves only $140 in support. I have temporarily been staying with my mother because of my emotional state deteriorating from the stress.
I feel that all of these reasons would be good reason to set aside a default judgement that was taken against me. It wasn't really a "default" because there was a trial and I presented evidence for these things, but then I didn't submit some documents correctly and my ex's attorney got the judge to sign a proposed judgement and none of my evidence was considered at all.
All of this was a result of not having money to hire an attorney for the trial or any of my own experts, appraisals and evaluations, which my Ex had done.
Any advise is appreciated.
