Description

This is a suit to enforce a property settlement agreement. The parties were divorced in 1975 in the Court of Domestic Relations Number Four of Harris County, Texas. Judgment was pronounced from the bench on February 4, 1975. An instrument entitled Property Settlement Agreement was signed by the parties on April 8, 1975. The Decree of Divorce was signed by the judge on April 14, 1975. The Property Settlement Agreement called for appellant to make payments of $500.00 per month beginning February 15, 1975, to continue until January 15, 1979. Appellant made $9,000.00 in payments and then stopped paying under the agreement. Appellee brought suit for missed payments, initially $2,000.00, in the County Civil Court at Law. Defendant responded claiming lack of jurisdiction, impossibility of performance, vagueness and offset for the $9,000.00 paid. Upon trial the court entered judgment for appellee for $15,000.00 in payments under the agreement and $5,000.00 in attorneys fees. Defendant appeals, asserting six points of error. We affirm.
