Hidden Property Transfers: Can I Reopen My Divorce Case?

July 29, 2025 • Anderson Keuscher Brachmann

The Question:

"Prior to my divorce being filed, my ex and I agreed that we would gift the home to our adult children. After divorce proceedings began and prior to our first court appearance, my kids transferred their interest to my ex husband. He did not disclose this to the lawyers or to the court. The Divorce was final in February 2025. My question is: was this a fraudulent activity and should I request the decree to be re-visited by the judge."

In this episode of Love Court, divorce attorney Jessica Anderson takes on a listener’s question about a possible case of fraud during divorce. When property meant for their children was secretly transferred back to the ex—and not disclosed to the court—can that be grounds to revisit the divorce decree? Jessica explains what counts as fraudulent behavior, the importance of full disclosure, and whether it’s possible to bring a finalized case back to court.
