Depending on the provisions of the Judgement, certain issues may be reopened. You should consult with an attorney and review your Judgement of Divorce and determine what issues can be raised in court.

You need to file for divorce and get an order compelling him to give you your things. Also, it sounds like the house may be transmuted into community property or, at worst, that some portion of the principle may be yours. You should talk with a local attorney about this.

In the State of Washington, it is very difficult to reopen a finalized divorce for the purpose of changing the financial terms of the divorce; it typically requires strong evidence of a party's fraudulent material misrepresentations to the court. If the reason that no spousal maintenance was ordered was principally based upon the alleged inability of the husband to pay, and the supposed wage discrepancy was very significant, then it might be possible able to have the court reopen the case, but there are time limits to doing so. You need to discuss your particular situation and facts with an attorney to determine if there is any basis for doing so at this time. A divorce does not need to be reopened if there is a real safety issue regarding the children that might justify modifying the parenting plan, or the child support needs to be modified due to the substantial income discrepancy. There are legal parameters that determine when the court can consider making modifications; again, an attorney would be able to assist you in this matter.
