What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I'm not sure where to begin and wasn't sure what Forum this would fall under. My nightmare begins with my husbands ex-wife and her attempt to cause problems for us. My husband was divorced 7 years ago and we have been married for 3. The mistake he made was signing a divorce degree downloaded from the internet and no legal representation. The divorce was a rush due to his wife being pregnant with another mans child and they wanted to be married before the baby came. They used the generic divorce degree from the internet and for items like medical insurance, they just verbally made agreements. So for 7 years the ex was providing the medical insurance through her employer and the child support would more than cover those premiums, but is was never spelled out in the decree, they just verbally agreed on this. The ex-wife never made demands for any extra money for the premiums.
She decided to file a lawsuit because she was mad at me for giving her a hard time for not taking care of my step-daughter and by endangering her by driving drunk with her daughters in the car. Anyway, the lawsuit is for some back child support in 2005 and past 7 years of insurance premiums. She forgot she signed a affidavit with the Attorney General back in 2005 that her ex-husband paid her 2 months of child support in cash due to a bad financial situation and she couldn't wait on the system for the money.
We have been going back and forth on this issue and have a court date December 11th. The last written agreement we received from her attorney (that happens to be the ex-wife's sister-in-law) was they would drop the entire suit if my husband and I would get a divorce and stay divorced.
I just can't believe a attorney would put that in writing. This case has caused me a lot of mental anguish due to her plot to split us up. This has nothing to do with needing support for the child. This is a total witch hunt and frivolous.
Do I have any recourse on this?
