Caldwell, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

Generally, an attorney will represent one party to the divorce but not both.  That said, some attorneys are willing to draft the decree based on the instructions of the parties.   Based on your inquiry, it appears you will need a divorce decree and documents regarding the real property (i.e., special warranty deed, deed of trust to secure assumption, etc.).   I think you have 2 choices:   1)  One of you hires an attorney who then drafts the final decree of divorce and the real estate related documents.  2)  You both hire an attorney to draft the documents based on your agreement(s).   The down side to option 2 is that the drafting attorney is essentially only a secretary drafting the documents and cannot give either of you legal advice.

Most divorce courts in Texas have issued standing orders that prohibit a spouse from cancelling insurance policies during the pendency of the divorce case.  If the court in which your divorce is pending has done so, you may be able to file a motion for contempt or a motion to enforce the standing orders.  With a motion for contempt, your wife can be fined or jailed for violating the court order.  With a motion to enforce, you may be able to persuade the court to give you from your community property a sum of money equal to the value of your truck when it was stolen to allow you to replace the truck.  I would argue that should be awarded to you before any other division of your community property as part of a just and right division because, but for your wife cancelling the policy, there would have been insurance proceeds to help you replace the stolen truck.
