Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

divorce

i am in the u.s. military and am serving overseas with a legal question about divorce. i was divorced in texas in 2004 and my ex-wife is now telling me that in texas every five years of a divorce it is financially ''opened'' and looked at again. she is telling me that i am required to supply my military pay info in full to her lawyer so they can be submitted back to the court. if these documents were really needed by the court wouldn't the court be asking for them. when the divorce proceedings occurred the first time i was deployed and everything was agreed ahead of time, so i never got to here the divorce decree read aloud by a judge or read by my lawyer afterwords. it was a long deployment so by the time i got back the entire process had been over for several months. i can't find anything in my divorce papers that say anything about this five year review, but i don't know, and can't find anything, about this review process. can you help clarify just a bit for my benefit. thanks

Re: divorce

Never heard of it. The only thing that can be reviewed is your pay records for a possible increase in child support. But you're right. The court or her lawyer would be requesting the records. Sounds like she is pulling your chain. Tell you'll wait for the order from the court. Good Luck.
