Moving --Where to file

In order to have get the mortgage and equity lines out of your name, she will most likely need to refinance the property to pay off these existing liens.

The terms of the separation agreement executed in North Carolina will be enforceable by a breach of contract action once the separation agreement is executed, regardless of where you later reside.

Child support is always modifiable. It is unlikely that if you and she agree to a certain amount in your separation agreement that she will be able to immediately have that changed. Typically, there would need to be some change of circumstances warranting a modification in the child support amount. However, if there is a change in circumstances then she can attempt to have child support modified (and the same option would be available to you).

My husband and I agree to divorce. We have met NC residency requirements. My questions are these:
1-- We agree she will get the house. But since the house is in both our names (on deed) but mortgage and equity loan are in mine, how can I transfer the mortgage to her? Will she have to go through a new loan process?
2-- I plan to file sep agreement papers here in NC. Then I will be moving to texas shortly after. Once I live in TX the required 6 months I plan to file for divorce. Will the terms of the sep agreement still be enforceable up until the divorce is finalized? I am fearful she will try to make me pay for debts she incurs while we are separated to the point the divorce is final.
– If I agree to pay her a set amount for child support in our sep agreement, can she then Not agree even if the same terms are part of the terms of the TX divorce?
– Once the divorce is final, can she then take me to court in NC for more child support even if my income does not change?
