QUESTION
If my divorce is finalized can I still ask for a settlement? How?
Asked on May 04th, 2015 on Divorce - Nebraska
More details to this question:
My divorce case is scheduled to be finalized fairly soon and I was wondering if I can still ask for a settlement after it has been finalized. I did not request this settlement when I first filed for divorce. The divorce will be terminated on 5/20/2015. We own properties together that I did not include on the original divorce papers. Thanks!

If you had come to my office for advice, I would have suggested that you immediately ask for a postponement of the final hearing. You could explain that you did not have legal counsel, and you are not at all certain that V agreement you entered into is fair. I strongly suggest that you find an experienced family law attorney right away, and put this problem in her or his hands. It may be the best investment of your life.

You have to do this before the divorce decree is entered not after. If you failed to put down property that is or should be at issue, you need to amend the petition now and probably ask for a continuance of the trial. Get a lawyer. It sounds like this has become a quagmire.

You need to obtain a settlement BEFORE the divorce is finalized.

You need to do this before the final divorce. After that most issues are waived.

Yes, you can ask for a settlement, however, you must ask BEFORE the divorce is finalized. If you don?t, you will have to go back to Court for a Modification. Good luck.
