I have been seperated for over 2 years divorced less than  six months   we have  5 kids ages from 4 - 16  since seperation ex  has  another child less than a year old

we both love our  kids ...

Ex  has custody of kids

i work  minimum of 40 hours a week and do other jobs when i can ... ex is a stay at home mom

 

well here is problem

 

in the seperation agreement i signed saying there were no existing bills ..   i found out after seperation

There were existing bills i was not aware of ...they have drawn interest  now and are in the 10,000.00 range  or more

also i signed that property was divided 

today it is still in our names 

i want to put property in kids name

In CA there is a disclosure form each of you has to fill out separately. I'm not sure it's under penalty of purgery, but suspect it is. I'm assuming it's the same in NC, but maybe not.

So, did neither of you know about these debts? Highly unlikely. So somebody lied when they disclosed their view of the financial situation.

That, to me, ought to be sufficient grounds to re-open the settlement and make it a bit more fair.

Only your lawyer knows for sure, so as mtnvly said, consult with one.

Best of luck. What a mess!

I suggest you get a lawyer . I am sure that if you bring light to the situation and that you were unaware of these bills etc at the time of divorce that she should have to help pay them.
Make sure you have records on the bills .
