poof!…….there goes his armanis
poof!…….there goes his versaces
poof!…….here come a alimony bill
poof!…….there goes his credit score
My ex husband and I were married June 28, 2002. The relationship quickly went downhill (he was abusive), and I finally kicked him out mid-January 2003. Our divorce was finalized in October of 2003. During the divorce I didn’t ask for alimony or any kind of settlement because I thought that I most likely wouldn’t have had a case against him (that I knew of then), because the abuse was only my word against his, and therefore I thought I wouldn’t have been awarded anything.
I didn’t retain a lawyer for the divorce (stupid me!) because I couldn’t afford it. My ex husband’s parents paid for my ex husband’s lawyer, who handled everything. Basically I just had to read and sign a bunch of paperwork.
Recently I was told by my ex husband’s new wife that my ex husband got her pregnant in April of 2003, while my ex husband and I were still married. (I have verified the pregnancy/birth via a newspaper birth announcement.)
I know that infidelity during a marriage can count against the adulterer during divorce proceedings.
My question is, even though the divorce was finalized many years ago, because of this new evidence of infidelity, could I take my ex husband back to court and sue for alimony or some other kind of settlement?
If it depends on where I live, and the laws here, I live in Davis County, Utah, which is where my ex husband and I were married, and where we lived during our marriage.
If you have any answers or suggestions to this question, please share!

Also, please note if you have any experience in law (if you’re a lawyer or law student or otherwise involved in the judiciary system), or if you’ve been through similar circumstances as my own.
Thanks so much for any assistance or insight you can offer!

lol…Okay, so it seems that everyone is getting the wrong perception here. I’m not out for money, or vengeance here. I’m out for justice. I don’t want his money. I want him to pay for what he put me through. He stole my childhood, and much of my life from me. (I was 16 when we started dating – he’s 9 years older than me). That’s the kind of man he is.
The funny thing is, I hadn’t thought about him for years (I forgave him and moved on with my life as soon as I finally got him out of my life [after I finally got him to stop stalking me]). It doesn’t even seem like we were ever even married, it was so long ago.
The thing that brought it back up was his current wife contacting me. It turns out that he has put her through the same things he put me through (and worse since she’s had to deal with it so long), and she’s planned on leaving him (I hope for her, and her children’s sake that she does).
Again, I don’t want his money. I want him to come to justice.
I totally see why everyone is thinking the way they are about this question. I understand where you’re coming from, as I’d have had the same reaction if I only knew as much as you do from reading my question.
That stated, I swear to you, I HAVE moved on with my life. I’m a successful artist, and am living life to the fullest of my ability.
I didn’t necessarily mean that I wanted alimony (I realize what alimony is for, and that it’s only short-term). I want to know if there’s any recourse I could have against him. If there’s a way to hold him accountable for his deeds, I’ll do it, if only on matter of principle.
Do you think if I had been dwelling on him for 7 years that I would have waited this long to do something? Definitely not.
Oh, and by the way, adultery IS illegal in some states, including Utah.

We have beeen married 5 years. Normal ups and downs. Second for both. He is 56 I am 48.
I am unemployed but have been looking for work for a couple of years now. no jobs in the only thing have ever done-dental office for 20+ years. We were making it on his pay-but no more luxuries like when I was working.
His ex-wife who is out of state called him out of the blue a few months ago. After 19 years apart. They have one daughter 30, and she knows he remarried. She is going through a bad divorce and now realizes after all these years my husband was the only one for her!
He left her because she cheated on him repeatedly.
I found a text on his phone-a gut feeling told me to check. She left him one saying she was so happy he would be giving her another chance and she would never hurt him again!
Long story short, he is leaving me for her. I was a good loving, faithful wife. I made a nice home for him and denied him nothing. She makes good money and part of me thinks he is sick of supporting me and going without, With her they would live high on the hog.
I am in shock. I am hurting so badly because I cannot even imagine why someone would choose a cheater over the real thing. She told him she changed. They have been emailing for a while, and I asked him why as it was disrespectful to me. He said she was only calling him because she has no family and no one else and it would stop. It didn’t and escalated into this. After 20 years apart?
The house was mine when we married-in my name only. There is zero equity in it so if I sold it I might not even break even. I have no money of my own. Even though i could temporarily stay with my parents for a while, I will be homeless without anything but the clotthes on my back. I can’t afford to store my furniture with no money.
I spoke to a lawyer and he said the most I could get for alimony is maybe 0 week for a couple of years. I am losing not only my marriage but everything I worked so hard for all of my life. i have no choice-my family has no money either. My 18 year old son from first marriage lives with me. he is crushed as he really loved his step-dad. Now at 48 I will be moving in with my parents and filing bancruptcy. No money to pay credit cards, car ins., etc.
What was he thinking? The money? That she really changed? My lawyer said she didn’t really want HIM, but the security and familiarity of him after her second husband left her.
How can I cope? My world has disappeared in a matter of days. I know I could never take him back after this (IF he ever wanted that) I am just so confused-what was he thinking????
We are living our lives, she calls out of the blue after no contact for years, and now my marriage is over. Please advise I am losing everything I ever had and I am crushed in every way.
