You should review the divorce decree and any Agreement which is part of it. Generally you cannot come back after eight years and reopen property division. You might try consulting the lawyer who represented you in the divorce: he or she might have some greater wisdom.

All of your rights, and obligations, would normally be found in the judgment of divorce entered eight years ago. I would suggest you take it to an attorney to be reviewed in view of your current questions.

Your issue is one of Spousal Support. With a marriage of only 8 years, you ?may? be entitled to spousal support, however, the amount of the support and length of time for the support will not be much. Good luck.
