@RollercoasterLover, thanks for your thoughts..

A few corrections: my mother has NOT died, so my husband is NOT entitled legally to any potential inheritance that I MAY get many years from now, IF there even IS any inheritance.

I mistakenly THOUGHT that I had reviewed his financial statement. I was in a brain fog through our separation and during our divorce hearing and simply had made an innocent mistake. The paralegal I spoke with yesterday said this is enough grounds to reopen the case, given that I later realized that in fact, my lawyer never sent me my husband's financial statement and I had never actually seen it.

I do not care what my husband's reaction will be to this. If he tries to smear me with our mutual friends, I have an argument that he deliberately hid this money from me and that I was not fairly legally represented or advised. I lost my job.. I should have claimed alimony and did not and was not legally advised well. I should have been.

And your statements about it being my choice to not pursue other legal representation? How was I supposed to know I would lose my job or that my husband was inheriting money? I could not predict these circumstances ahead of time when we hired his friend as our lawyer. I thought it was a pretty easy, straight forward, and cut and dry divorce whereby I had nothing to protect... it's only in hindsight and given the changes in my financial circumstances whereby I now need FAIR legal representation.

My mind is made up - I think it's reasonable for me to pursue this legally and that my husband and his lawyer friend have committed foul play.
