This is actually a real estate law question. It would be a rare and questionable situation where a divorce settlement or judge's decree "gave" a house and acreage to children of the marriage. If there is such an agreement or decree, there might be a cause of action in court on breach of contract or other cause of action. However, in the time between now and when you get an attorney to review the actual documents, if the house is currently deeded to the ex-spouse and their current spouse with a right of survivorship, then that is what will happen.
If there is no such deed, then the house will pass by will. If there is no will, then the house will pass per intestate law.
Bottom line, you are going to have to get all the documents together and find a lawyer to review them and tell you what exactly they mean.
