If your ex sues you for the payment of the attorney's fees, you will probably lose. If you decree ordered you to pay the fees, you're obligated to pay them. Have you tried taking out a loan to pay off the ex and keep her from holding this over your head? I would strongly consider taking the signed divorce decree to an attorney for review and to figure out what your options are. Perhaps you can negotiate the fee repayment with a close reading of the decree and the help of a good lawyer.

A power of attorney does not give you permission to testify as to facts known to your son. There are federal and state statutes that relieve military personnel from court appearances due to their service obligations. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

You need a deed of trust to secure assumption. This will allow you to continue making payments on the mortgage and free your ex wife from having to do so.  Under an assumption deed, the grantee becomes obligated to the grantor – but, it should be pointed out, not to the lender, since the grantee has not signed the note. Similarly, the grantor has not been released from the lender´s note, unless the lender has approved the assumption and expressly released the grantor in writing. An assumption deed is usually accompanied by a deed of trust to secure assumption, which enables the grantor to make payments to the lender if he discovers that the grantee has failed to do so, and then recover these "advancements" from the grantee. This enables the grantor to proactively preserve his credit. If he is not reimbursed by the grantee, the grantor may foreclose.
