My husband obtained a divorce during reconciling. I found out 10 months after. He had me again kicked out with those papers. Im disabled he cut me off financially years ago. I now suffer ptsd from all of this, homeless. And he’s ignoring me.now in virgina with girlfriend who contacted me ( after Hurricane) and told me seeing him before separation. He made me live in cabin hr away. No electric, water. 104 days, through hurricane Helene. Started coming having relations. But would not let me go home to even bathe. I have ALL DOCUMENTATION. But spent 30,000 on lawyer previously. Now ptsd, anxiety, meds. And can not get help from anyone! Without lawyer fees! What about intentional infliction of emotional distress? Personal injury. And alienation of affection? Im desperate and frozen.

If your husband obtained the divorce without properly serving you and without your knowledge, you may have a claim to set aside the divorce. If set aside, your rights to alimony and/or equitable distribution may be revived.
For any torts such as intentional infliction of emotion distress, you will need to consult with a civil litigation attorney.
