What i



s the name of your state?Texas My husband's exwife died about 3 1/2 yrs.ago. Due to some personal and significant things going on in our lives, temporary custody of his now 13yr.daughter was granted to her half-aunt on her mother's side. My husband was ordered at the time of her death to pay the arrears on cs. This was paid off and no futhercs has been garnished from his check in about 1 1/2 yrs. Her aunt is receiving ssi for her care as she should. Here's the thing, on my husband's last paycheck cs was deducted.
There was no continuing order for ongoing cs at the time of her death and the Tx Att. Gen. ssays there are no open cases for cont. cs. Her aunt still has custody which we decided would probably be the least upsetting thing for her since her mother passed away. However, we recently got a letter from his daughter saying that she didn't want any of us in her life. This hurt all of us deeply. My daughters esp. were crushed, honestly as were all of us.
Here is the thing, I am very opposed to paying any further cs should it come up if she hates us all so much. Her aunt has poisoned her mind and I think I am most angry because of the harm that I feel that it will and has done to this 13 yr. old child. Should we take the aunt to court to regain custody? Please help. Can the aunt draw her mom's ssi as well as cs if comes up?

Yes, she can. To freaking bad you are opposed to him making further support payments. It is coming out of his checks now.

Please look up and learn the child support laws. Leave the Aunt alone, your husband didn't step up to the plate, did he?


You picked him. :rolleyes:

What is t
he name of your state?Texas my husband and were married for 13years. He just very recently passed away. We were seperated at the time of his death, for appr. 6 months. Am I entitled to everything in his estate? There is no will and we had no children. He does have 3 grown children from 2 previous marriages. What are my rights? His children are trying to see that I am left with nothing. What, if any is my recourse?

My response:

Were you "legally" separated, or merely living apart?

Who's telling you that you're not entitled to his estate, and why?

It is my understanding that there is no actual legal separation in the Texas.
We also owe quit a large sum in back irs.His children say that since were were not living together that they are entitled to 1/4 of the estate each. Thus instead of myself getting all of the estate, I will only get 1/4 of it now..That is even iffy because I have don't have any funds to fight this in court for very long at all.
