Thank you for your question.
I believe your case would be barred due to the doctrine of collateral estoppel, or issue preclusion. The rule of issue preclusion is to bar relitigation of an issue in a new case that involves a party to the first case. Since your suit was brought in small claims court, the court may relax this rule, but in my experience, the court will dismiss the action if it realizes that you already litigated this issue (or if the husband brings that to the attention of the court).
