Is it too late to hire a lawyer after a divorce is final if I did not understand the proceedings?
I am a Cuban American woman living in Hilsborough County, FL who was divorced from an American on July 27, 2017 in Volusia County, FL. Although I was present at the proceedings I was not represented by a lawyer (did not have money to hire one) and did not understand the discussions. I speak very little English and someone is helping type this question. The court decided that although my ex husband and I are both on the mortgage for a property I currently reside in Hilsborough County, FL that he would be entitled to 100% of our home's equity once it is sold. I also did not request any alimony because I did not understand that this was something I should do.
1. Is there any recourse that I can take to obtain 50% of the home's equity?
2. Can I be forced to sign the title over to a new owner once it is sold?
