QUESTION
Can I ask for a settlement after my divorce is finalized? How?
Asked on May 11th, 2015 on Divorce - Washington
More details to this question:
Can I still ask for a settlement after my dissolution case is finalized by the court? I did not request such a settlement when I filed the divorce papers, but want one now. The final termination of my marriage is expected on 11/1/2014. We own some properties together that I did not list on the divorce papers.

why ask this now its already 6 months later? (or do you mean 11-2015?) If there is no final divorce judgment you can ask for splitting the properties equity. please contact an attorney .. it will be well worth the money

Well this is confusing because you speak of a termination of your divorce case to occur in November 2014, but we are now in mid-May 2015. Assuming you mean that the divorce was granted about 7 months ago, you could move to reopen the divorce in order to deal with assets which were overlooked earlier. Find a skilled matrimonial lawyer: it's usually worth the investment.

Speak with an attorney but your case is on a 95% plus basis closed dead and gone. Your only hope would be if the assets where never mentioned and secreted. You are welcome to call and engage Musilli Brennan Associates PLLC to potentially represent you.

In order to modify the terms of the divorce, you must have a material change in circumstances in order to convince the Judge to modify the terms. My philosophy is that if you don't ask, the Judge can't say yes, so go for it. You loose anything by asking.

You can reopen the case for a limited time to address fraud, duress, mistake, and inadequate disclosures. You can always seek division of undivided assets and obligations.

You can reopen the divorce only to address the properties not listed.
