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.
 
You don't appear to have a valid reason.

Not knowing how to present evidence is not a valid reason, and neither is the fact that you didn't have an attorney.

And depending on when the divorce decree was ordered, you may have forfeited the right to appeal anyway.
 
Too little, too late. Res judicata.
