Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

What is the relevancy of an agreement from a bankruptcy court in a family law co

I filed bankruptcy in MN last year. My ex-wife challeneged the discharge In her complaint she claimed that I owed her back health ins. premiums from June of 2002 and overstated the true amount of the premiums by nearly $350/month. I was able to obtain the true information from her employer. When she found out that I knew the correct figures, she quickly agreed to settle the case. Also since she admitted that she never notified me of the amount of the premium (a requirement of the Court Order) she agreed to forgo any claim for health insurance premiums from the time before the signing of the agreement in bankruptcy court (June 2003). I am now involved in a family law case in TX (where she lives w/kids). She is again claiming that I am in arrears for the health insurance premiums from June of 2002 and is again overstating the amount of the premiums. Anyways, what weight does a legal agreeement from a MN Bankruptcy Court have in a TX family law court??? Is she able to rehash this issue again even though she waived her rights to any premiums due before June of 2003???

If you have her signature or her attorney's signature on the order, the BK court's decision is admissible as evidence. Maybe you ought to try to get her to testify and perjure herself on this subject.
