My ex husband did one of those online divorces. He forged my signature on the divorce which I contacted them and requested copies of all of the paperwork and have the page he forged. I can't afford a lawyer but he gave me $300 of child support in the divorce I live in Alabam. He also lied on his income and mine to factor the child support. He is active duty stationed in Germany looking to come to the states in the next month or so. He said that he was going to fight me for full custody when he comes back. He is the one that forged the divorce and gave me full custody. What can I do and what are the chances that he'll win? Can I sue him or get him for forgerry and how do I go about proving it?

Where did he file this "online" divorce? In what state or country for starters please.

Sorry he filed in Washington state where we were married.

I would RUN to the military and discuss this with them - this is serious.

I did go to Jag and they said that there is nothing that they can do about any of this dealing with the divorce they don't handle divorces. I can't afford a lawyer plus all of the lawyers I have talked to say I have to use one in Washington state where the divorce was finallized. He was remarried a week after the divorce was final in Germany and I just got remarried last month. I just don't know what to do.

Right now the issue is child support. How are you getting any child support from him at this point? Did he pay any child support since he's been in the Navy to you?

As far as I can tell he is a bigamist having forged the divorce papers. If he's living in Germany not much can be done right now until he gets back to the states. Once he comes back, it's a different story.

By the way, you are a bigamist also having not legally gotten divorced from him! If you want to do yourself a huge favor, do not tell anyone about this as you need to get a divorce from him before you can legally get married again. As far as the child support issue that's another matter.

A couple of issues, first if this is forged, you should contact the court at once and notify them that his was never signed by you. If you wait after notification, it could appear you agreed to it.

So you can get this divorce over turned with no trouble at all.

Plus you can see if the DA will file charges of fraud against him. If you accept this as a valid divorce, then you will have little recourse against his fraud latter on, since you would have appeared to agree to it.

If you wish to stay divorced and forget his fraud, you can go back to court and ask for them to modify the child support based on new income information.

But in the divorce it states that child support can't be modified until every two years. I did contact the clerk and explained everything to them when I requested the certified copies of the divorce paperwork they said that there was nothing that they could do.

I would remind them you aren't talking divorce; you are talking fraud.

I also don't think you can claim the divorce was fraudulent if you then remarried - either you thought it was a valid divorce and remarried or you did not and therefore could not remarry (because you are still married to husband #1) and that is probably (I never say never) how the Court will see things.

I think your remarriage sealed your fate.

In reading your several posts I don't understand what you are complaining about. You have a new husband, a new home, and an ex. I think what scares you the most is the ex's attitude since he already did harm to you in Germany as you stated in another question. If you were given custody of your child in the divorce from him and he's given $300 a month to you (all well and good so far) he's going to have to legally take your son away from you by way of a court fight for custody. In the meantime he's going to have to keep paying the child support that the divorce said. Has he been paying all along or has he stopped? You never said.
