What can I do if my wife filed divorce without my knowledge?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
You could challenge the divorce based on fraud, but that will be difficult to prove, especially if you were drunk at the time. If you can't get the divorce overturned, you can file a motion to modify the custody arrangement based on a material and substantial change in circumstances. But if I were your lawyer, I would tell you to only do that if you are clean and sober and have been that way for a long period of time. You need to talk with a local attorney about the details.

It could be risky to wait on this and try to get it ordered later. It would be best to resolve it now.

Neither party will get what they want. The community property estate will be split in a fair and equitable manner. The fact that it is a newly purchased home, it is unlikely that you have enough equity in the home to make it worthwhile fight. You may have to buy her out of any equity to keep the home. If she can not pay, it is unlikely a court would award her the home. Go and consult with a local divorce/family law attorney if you want a better assessment of your case. Good luck.
