QUESTION
Is it possible to sue for breach of a divorce agreement 15 years after the divorce?
Asked on Mar 29th, 2018 on Divorce - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I had a verbal divorce agreement with my ex-wife. She never fulfilled her side of the agreement. But it has been 15 years since the divorce. Can I still sue after all this time? I can show she never fulfilled her part of the agreement because in our written divorce agreement I was supposed to get our furniture. I never got the furniture. I let her keep it in return for her sending me other property. I never got that property.

Thank you for your question.Yes, it is possible to seek enforcement of a divorce agreement if it was not followed. However, if too much time has elapsed the Court’s may be unwilling to address the issue. In any event, you may have recourse to address certain aspects of the agreement if they have not been followed. Based on your circumstances, I would suggest contacting an experienced family law attorney to address your specific concerns. I hope this information was helpful to you.
