My divorce was final 9 years ago. I live in Arizona which is a community property state. When we were married he had me quit claim property.
Is there any way for me to do anything about that, or is it too late???

What does the divorce decree say about the distribution of marital property ? If he was ordered/agreed to pay you your share and hasn't , he still owes you . File contempt .

Please be more specific . Does the decree specifically list assets you are entitled to ?

You don't need a modification , you need enforcement of your existing court order .

well see the thing is, i totally let him screw me and only to protect my children's emotional welfare. I didn't fight for anything monetarily so he basically has all and i nothing.
the divorce papers are completely in his favor.
plus he was violent w me and got a restraining order when i decided to leave as didnt trust what he would do.
just tired of him monopolizing all the time w the kids, and i cant even afford to take them to dinner.

You are entitled to any assets ennumerated in the divorce decree whether or not legal title has been transferred via a quit claim deed . If you haven't received this you'd need to file for a contempt citation to " force " payment .
Any asets not included in the divorce decree are not recoverable , there's a limited period to reopen an agreed/ordered decree ( usually 1-2 years ) and only when fault or unconscionability are evident ( fraud , intimidation , etc ) .
Why not seek further child support ? The Arizona guidelines
do take into account parenting time utilized .

the kids live with him, he has primary household. he cares for them financially so no child support either way.
in the divorce decree everything is his.
just wanted to see if that could be changed, but i guess its too late.
i get nothing, tax wise, help as a single mom etc. as he has primary so that puts him at 51% of the time.
just looking for some way to make things fair. some way out of this nightmare. A miracle i guess.
