If anything has happens without your knowledge, the law of the land is with you , do not worry but try to face the situation wisely. First, try to get the certified copy of the Divorce Order from the same court by filing an application. Second, you report with your grievances in writing to nearby PS and then free to approach to the court of jurisdiction with your application.

Under order 9 rule 13 u may file an application for setting aside exparte decree against you wherein notice has not been served on you. However limitatiion for filing such application are 30 days but we can explain before honourable court that notice is unserved on you and bonafidely delay has taken place which is legal under the law. Peculiar to say here that presently your status is a divorcee. You may also take other course of remedy under the law under criminal procedure code and domestic violence act since taking exparte divorce decree fradulently will also be taken as cruelty
