Rio Bravo, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

If the circumstance is exactly as you describe it, then no she is not entitled to a portion of the plan because it was acquired before the marriage and therefore the plan and any increase in value of the plan would be your separate property. I would still bring a copy of the plan to an experience divorce attorney to have it reviewed.

You need a qualified domestic relations order for each plan covered by the federal statutes. The plan administrator may have a form order that can be tracked. This is very detailed work - it would be a good idea to hire a lawyer.

The property and the children are two different matters. The divorce decree governs on both issues, but you will notice that the house is in one seciton fo the decree and the children are in a totally different section. If you got the house in the decree, the house is yours. A later agreement about the house is not enforceable. He would need to file some type of modification to change the propery division concerning the house. As to your possession and access to the children, that should be enforced through a suit to enforce access and possession. It's a totally separate issue than the house. If your ex-husband has engaged in parental alienation, that should be addressed with the Court as well.
