El Paso, TX asked in Real Estate Law for Texas

Q: If husband paid off his property land already and ex wife is now claiming to get $15,000. What can he do?

Husband says she left with kids about 15 years more less ago from house. Husband said she had told him she didn't want anything but the divorced. He gave her the divorce and he has been paying for the property himself. About 4 years ago He asked me to come lived with him. She found out and came to tell him wants $8000 for property but he was still paying. So she didn't asked anymore. Now just this year he paid off the property himself already. Now this week she called asking for $15,000.00 from him. But he told her we talk later. So he wanted to know what can he do?
