Teague, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You need to talk with a local attorney and go through all of the details. It may be that your husband wants the same thing you do, that at least half his assets go to his kids. You won't know what is going on until he tells you what he wants.

You need to contact the court where the divorce decree was entered by a judge, and ask them to give you a certified copy of the final judgment of divorce. 

Signing your husband’s name on a check without his explicit authorization may constitute forgery, which is a criminal offense. Even if you believe the funds are marital property, the law requires that both spouses comply with legal processes for accessing and dividing shared assets. To protect yourself and your daughter, it’s critical to avoid any actions that could expose you to criminal charges. If you need immediate financial assistance for safety or legal support, consider seeking a temporary restraining order or protective order, which can include financial provisions. A family law attorney can help you request emergency funds through the court while pursuing a divorce. Additionally, organizations and shelters for domestic violence survivors may provide resources and support to help you and your daughter escape safely.
