Henderson, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

What is "fair" always depends upon your point of view. The judge will make decisions about who is to pay what bills based on an overall consideration of the total income and total expenses of both parties. At a temporary hearing the judge will expect both parties to present monthly budgets and the judge will allocate funds for payment of expenses and child support based upon a review of all the facts.

If the house was awarded to your ex-wife in the divorce decree, then she has the right to sell it.  You need to check the divorce decree itself as well as look at the real property records at your county clerk's office.  When you inherit real property it becomes your separate property.  In a divorce a court may only divide community property.  You may need a lawyer's help to file a Bill of Review to attempt  to overturn the award of your separate property home to your ex-wife in the divorce.  The fact that you say you "signed off on" the divorce may be a problem, however, if the decree provides that the house was awarded to your ex-wife.  Do not wait any longer to resolve the title and ownership issues with this real property.

If you want to try to hold the proceeding down here in Texas, you need to see a lawyer ASAP. For now Texas still has jurisdiction over the child and the case. Good luck.
