In a divorce case, my ex-spouse provided inconsistent affidavits, leading to a judgment against me. The State found these affidavits to be fraudulent. My attorney was removed from the case, and I was not allowed to present evidence at a hearing. The State is now requesting reconsideration due to departmental timing issues. What legal actions can I take to address these issues, including the potential for fraud, negligence, and malicious prosecution?
