Who owns the house

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
The property and the children are two different matters. The divorce decree governs on both issues, but you will notice that the house is in one seciton fo the decree and the children are in a totally different section. If you got the house in the decree, the house is yours. A later agreement about the house is not enforceable. He would need to file some type of modification to change the propery division concerning the house. As to your possession and access to the children, that should be enforced through a suit to enforce access and possession. It's a totally separate issue than the house. If your ex-husband has engaged in parental alienation, that should be addressed with the Court as well.

When resubmitting a rejected judgment, do I file it as an amended judgment, or an original one?

Your question is too vague to give you an answer. If the judge said to submit a revised judgment, then you need to figure out what the problems were with the first one, draft a better order and send it to the court for entry.

Filing for divorce without a lawyer, been seperated 10 years!!

Answered by attorney Andrew M. Lloyd
Divorce lawyer at Lloyd Associates, PLLC
You may file a pro se divorce, and provided he agrees to everything, it can be pretty straightforward.  There are places online to find forms, though I generally find that paying a little more money to an attorney to do it properly and discuss all of the legal ramifications (ins and outs) is worth it.  This saves you time, effort, and doubt.  There are many issues that forms will not cover when it comes to conservatorship of a child.
