Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Divorce Appeal

We entered a mediated settlement agreement, which was finalized by the judge on Jan. 21 2009. We jointly owned a house with a pretty hefty mortgage (I'm still on the loan) that he took. Because he was taking on the bulk of our debt I was generous in division of other assets. I recently learned that the house is going into foreclosure and would like to: (1) save it and (2) revisit division of property. What is my recourse here? He was ordered to sign a deed to secure assumption but never bothered with it.

Re: Divorce Appeal

Contact the mortgage company and see if they will work with you. You are on the note so they can talk to you.

The court has lost jurisdiction over modifying the division of property.

I'd call your divorce attorney and see what he/she says. Perhaps the attorney will have some ideas since they know the case.

Good luck!
