It is a difficult question to answer without seeing the decree, but most attorneys make sure that the final decree disposes of ALL property, whether stated or not.  It may well be, however, that your decree has some language regarding any assets not disclosed can be re-allocated.  If that is the case, it would be worthwhile to pursue.  However, again, usually the decree simply states Wife take all 'other' debt in her name and Husband take all 'other' debt in his name.  This type of blanket language is generally sufficient to negate any motion for new trial or attempt to bring the case back before the court on a property distribution argument.  Again, this will depend largely upon the lieral wording of your decree.  Find an attorney local in your area and ask that they quickly look at it.  Takes about 10 minutes.

Your spouse is entitled to one-half of whatever was contributed to the plan because of your employment during your marriage. The part you had before the marriage is your separate property.

A divorce order affects the rights of the parties between themselves but does not change the rights of creditors. That means if you signed for a debt, the creditor can come after you for payment even though the divorce orders say your ex is to pay the debt. Your recourse is to sue your ex to enforce the order and that is frequently not a very good remedy.
