More details to this question:
I am trying to help my son who is Iraq war veteran and lives in Copperas Cove, Texas. About three years ago he was in the middle of divorcing his wife while living with a girlfriend and her two children. The house they lived in was too small for them so my son asked me to help them to buy a lager house. Since my son was in the middle of divorce I transferred the money to his girlfriend’s bank account. I have a copy of this bank transfer. Last year my son and his girlfriend separated and now he is renting an apartment and she and her new boyfriend and her 2 kids live in that house. My question is – how do I get my money back?

The short answer is it is a Texas question. As it was a gift and not a loan, you likely do not get it back. The origin of the transfer was fraud on the matrimonial court, so the equities are not on your side.
