Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

Ex-wife loan

I loaned my ex-wife $1500 (have the check and a signed statement from her about payback) with the intent she would repay me $50 per paycheck until paid back. I received 2 payments from her and she refuses to pay more, stating that I told her it was a ''gift''. Is there anything I can do to get the money back or is it better just to let it go?

The most cost effective remedy would be to file suit against her in small claims court.

Re: Ex-wife loan

You can bring suit against her in Small Claims Court. Collecting upon the judgment would be the difficult part.
