they are recent immigrants, and their culture is NOT THE SAME... Yeah, he just doesn't understand that in America it's the wife who gets the house, his retirement, kids and alimony when she decides to leave.
Silly backwards foreigners....

My ex did roughly the same to me. Left, told me he was making the house payments, left me with HIS handicapped child and let the house go into foreclosure. Didn't even make the papers.

In America, if he remarried before getting a legal divorce, he'd end up in jail and she sure would get the house (with the mortgage) and the kids (and the costs of raising them). But he couldn't earn that much for alimony while in jail.
(BTW, there's no alimony in Texas. But there is community property, which can include assets such as the benefits of education earned while married.)
