I am not familiar with a notarized letter of financial responsibility, is this something required by Texas law or is this a document you signed stating that you would be a co-signer on her apartment?
If your children have been in NE for less than six months then Texas has jurisdiction.

In North Carolina that letter might be evidence in a child support or alimony hearing, but it would not legally bind you to do anything. You may want to check with a lawyer in Nebraska and Texas to see if there is any variation in the law.

Situation: I moved to NC in January from TX after accepting a job offer. At the time I accepted the offer, it was with the intention of the whole family moving with me. Right before I left, wife informed me she had decided not to move with me. I moved by myself and she stayed behind in TX. In March, I sent her a notarized letter of financial responsibility so she could get apartment/utilities. Unfortunately, I did not put an expiration date on it. She took it, along with our two children (2.5 and 5) and some of my furniture and papers with her to NE to live near family. She said she needed time to think about what it is she wanted. She continues to tell me she has not made any decisions.
I continue to be the sole source of financial support for two households. [:(!]
Would another notarized letter amending the letter of financial responsibility to include an expiration date supersede the original?
Who would has jurisdiction for divorce, property division, child custody, child support and alimony?
