Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

my exhusband had a trailer repoed in 2006. While at that time he was legally married to another woman. August of 2007 he was divorced. In Jan. of 2008 he lost his life. Now this trailer company is trying to get their money from his children. Who is libel for this debt. I feel the ex wife should be for she was living with him when he purchased and was married to him when he lost it.

The creditor can attempt to collect against his ESTATE, if there is any property in his estate; this would go through Probate Court. If the creditor is trying to collect from the children PERSONALLY, this is illegal, and the children should file suit. It is against the law to try to collect a debt from someone who doesn't owe it.
