So how was the divorce continued if it was final last year?
Oh SESmama, if any case could be butchered or botched, it has been mine. I barely make enough money to survive on and my wife is the one the wins in the end and I am stuck with having to battle out in court with no money to hire a lawyer anymore and no knowledge of what to file.

I am really really trying to be as candid as I can...here is the God's honest truth. In August 2013, the judge says that our case will be continued at a later date to discuss the financials that had yet to be worked out (i.e. debt, savings, taxes, etc.), the judge tells our lawyers to work out a date between them. At this time, the court was already past closing hours on a Friday! Okay, exit courthouse...we work out the date of December 26, 2013 to go back to court to work on financials, singed by me. Okay, so we think its a done deal for a future court date; however, what my ex-wife's lawyer did was cross out the agreed to date of December 26 and wrote on the court paperwork at the top and said, "No court date needed." And my ex-wife's lawyer slid the paperwork under the door to the clerk (because the court was already closed mind you). The court dates the note that my ex-wife's lawyer wrote and they did NOT set up a new court date, but instead, of consider the case closed. DESPITE the judge's very words saying that the case should be continued to a later date. My ex-wife's lawyer pulled a fast one, that is very deceptive, dishonest, and illegal. Of course, I was already in debt to my lawyer that was representing me for $7,500! So my lawyer is NOT going to put forth any more time to fight my ex-wife's lawyer and her illegal activity.

Now that I am dead broke, on disability due to a brain tumor (with a pending operation that maybe I will be lucky as to not survive), I owe $20,000 to my first lawyer, $7,500 to my second lawyer, back child support for the past 3 months (even though I am on disability); meanwhile, my wife works full time now and is living off of child support and alimony from me, as well as from her first marriage.

What can I do in my case? What paperwork can I file with the court to reopen my case (which should not have been closed to begin with)?
