If you're divorced, there's no set of facts that I can imagine that would make a court order him to take you back.  But it sounds like you need a lawyer's help getting this all sorted out.  One place to find an attorney is our website, http://attorneypages.com

Your lawyer will need to see a copy of the divorce decree, of course, and any other evidence you have about what's gone on since it was entered.  Without that information, there's no way for anyone to give you reliable advice.  Please don't put this off!
