Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am going through a divorce and I have been to court twice. A judge has already dissolved my marriage and had ordered child support, visitation, and division of all property, debts and assets. The first time we left the court with the judges orders for the final document to be prepared and signed by myself and my ex and submitted to the court for final judgement. My ex refused to sign the document stating wanting to change and revise things that had already been agreed upon. We went to court a second time trying to get final judgement and the judge ordered some minor changes in the wording. We were to sign and submit to court for final judgement. My ex is refusing to sign the document again wanting to modify the document. My attorney is telling that we have to go to court again to attempt final judgement. I am out of money and I do not know what to do. I know that the court will not order my ex to pay my legal fees but I cannot afford this. what are my options at this point.

The court *could* order your spouse to pay legal fees if the refusal to sign an agreed decree is clearly unreasonable. But if your ex won't sign, going back to court is the only alternative.
