Marriages do not expire. Feel free to inform your wife that her current problems are over and she is still married to you (whatever problems THAT may produce), unless she can produce a divorce decree signed by a judge.

Can retirement earned prior to marriage be taken in divorce since I paid 3 out of 33 years to social security while married?

Social Security is governed by federal law and will not be divided in a divorce. Private retirement funds can be divided but what was acquired prior to marriage is separate property. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

If my husband and I signed the divorce papers and it was signed by a Judge is this a binding paper as for enforcing the father to pay his child suppot

The divorce decree should state whether there is income withholding, and there should be a separate income withholding order. If there is not one, you should get one. You also should be able to file an enforcement for child support. If the children are on Medicaid, eventually, the attorney general of Texas will file an enforcement. However, sometimes the AG does not file because they are overloaded with cases. You should probably file the enforcement yourself. You can get more information here: texaslawhelp.org.
