Kilgore, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

At a minimum sue him for what you put in the property. You may also consider suing him for fraud. That may be a stretch, but it is possible. Find a good local attorney to help you.

It sounds as if the proper real estate documents were not filed in conjunction with your Final Decree. If not, then your ex husband would still be on all of the documents in the real property records. In addition, if the home was not refinanced after divorce, then your ex husband would still be financially responsible on the underlying note (mortgage).  I handle both family law and real estate law. I see these types of issues often as family law attorneys rarely consult a real estate attorney before closing out a divorce. 

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. The big question is are you divorced from your first wife. If you were married to your "estranged mate" and never divorced, your present marriage to your 2nd wife is invalid. By bringing your new wife here and petitioning for her, you could be committing immigration fraud and your wife would be deported. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced family law attorney to handle your marital problem and an experienced immigration attorney for your immigration problem for a face-to-face consultation and give them all of the facts surrounding your situation.
