Texas Divorce Law?
I was recently divorced and a part of the divorce is that I receive $10,000 from my ex's 401K. Her side now says the check is ready albeit late and has mine and my attorneys name on it. I am curious as to why my attornys name is on the check. I have no agreement to give her any part of the settlement and in fact have paid all her invoices except for the finally one she has yet to give me to tie up any loose ends. Why would they put my lawyers name on the check with mine?

My FIL is a divorce/family law attorney in Houston and said it's actually not uncommon for his name to be on a settlement check along with his clients due to how the negotiations are done. He just signs his name so they can cash or do whatever they want with it. He's said it's basically confirmation from attorney to attorney and ultimately the court to show the terms were met.
