How do I modify final divorce decree regarding community property?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
You need a deed of trust to secure assumption. This will allow you to continue making payments on the mortgage and free your ex wife from having to do so.  Under an assumption deed, the grantee becomes obligated to the grantor – but, it should be pointed out, not to the lender, since the grantee has not signed the note. Similarly, the grantor has not been released from the lender´s note, unless the lender has approved the assumption and expressly released the grantor in writing. An assumption deed is usually accompanied by a deed of trust to secure assumption, which enables the grantor to make payments to the lender if he discovers that the grantee has failed to do so, and then recover these "advancements" from the grantee. This enables the grantor to proactively preserve his credit. If he is not reimbursed by the grantee, the grantor may foreclose.

Can my Ex Spouse take my only childhood home of 48years and sell it

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
If the house was awarded to your ex-wife in the divorce decree, then she has the right to sell it.  You need to check the divorce decree itself as well as look at the real property records at your county clerk's office.  When you inherit real property it becomes your separate property.  In a divorce a court may only divide community property.  You may need a lawyer's help to file a Bill of Review to attempt  to overturn the award of your separate property home to your ex-wife in the divorce.  The fact that you say you "signed off on" the divorce may be a problem, however, if the decree provides that the house was awarded to your ex-wife.  Do not wait any longer to resolve the title and ownership issues with this real property.

Can I kick my wife out of the house now knowing that my divorce papers will state that?

Answered by attorney Bruce Campbell Zivley (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Bruce C. Zivley, Attorney at Law
Despite what you emotionally feel, and justifiably so, it would be a bad idea to kick her out. Rely on the court to act on your request to have exclusive use and possession of the residence, rather than attempting to usurp the authority of the court. Such is always a better idea. I can see you today if you want to act quicker and are in the Houston area.
