My ex husband and I used Moderators during our divorce three years ago. I did not want the divorce and was distraught and under a lot of stress at the time. He convinced me to sell the house that we occupied which I now regret. Because I was so distraught I was not thinking straight and in my mind I thought if I just do what he wanted he'd forget about the divorce and come back. I know, how pathetic. Anyway, during our meetings with the moderators she asked if I wanted to ask for alimony. Well at the time of the divorce he was selling mobile homes and had not brought any money in for months and I was probably earning more than him at the time...I felt sorry for him and he promised that if I signed the waiver that said I can not come back and ask for alimony later (when he had the money to do so) that not to worry if I needed help he would be there for me. Well, several times during the last 3 years I have asked him for help and he has refused to help me with even a couple hundred dollars a month to help me with my rent and bills.
I don't think I've been unreasonable in asking for him to help me. After 18 years of being together, I only started working the last 3, so he is more capable of earning far more than I ever could. He has his own business now for the past 3 years and claims he has no money to give, but I know that is a lie.
He owns his own business and his own home. I rent my apt and own nothing. I have nothing to show for those 18 years. I think it's a shame that there isn't someone out there to help people who are going through a divorce who is clearly not in their right mind therefore not making careful decisions to secure their future. I now know that i made so many mistakes in my decision making. My question is....do I have any recourse?? Is there anything I can do to get that waiver reversed???
