More details to this question:
My eventual divorce has thrust me into a deep depression though I wouldn't have called it that but my commissions and omissions prove to be quite the litmus test for said depression. Because of it I failed to prepare for trial and was arrested for my first time at 56 years old . My spending of monies effected me terribly in the case. I missed an evidentiary hearing because of arrest and my atty successfully withdrew at the onset of the trial. I put a motion to continue for new representation and the motion was denied. I had to represent myself at this fiasco against my wife's 2 attorneys, Menninger and Tillman. Actually Menninger took the case from Tillman and kicked me across the Family courts.

Your recitation, while colorful, is a bit vague as to the specifics that would allow a detailed answer. For the timing of appeals -- which are jurisdictional, so if missed are fatal to your ability to file -- see http://www.willicklawgroup.com/appeals/. Motions to reconsider are even tighter -- usually 10 days from notice of entry of the order.
But there is no way to tell from your write-up (which ends in the middle of a sentence) even whether there is anything, substantively, that could be done even if procedurally you could file. You should immediately seek out a consultation with a qualified family law specialist well versed in appeals (there are few of us, but there are several in Las Vegas) to evaulate all of your options and alternatives that might still exist.
