What am i legally entitled to in my divorce

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
He may have a reimbursement claim for the upgrades to your house, but that depends on what money was used for the improvements to your separate property. All other property you mentioned sounds like it would be subject to a just and right division so, yes, you would be entitled to your share if it is community property. In Texas, all property owned by the parties is presumed to be community property which is subject to division. Separate property is anything acquired before the marriage or by gift, devise or descent.

A final Decree of Divorce cannot be modified with respect to property matters. Your rights concerning the division of property are defined by the terms of the Decree. If, however, there were any assets that were not divided by the terms of the Decree, you and your ex continue to jointly own them and the court can divide them.

If a couple gets married in one state does state law where they live apply in the divorce?

Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
Generally speaking the law that controls is the law in the state where the two of you reside when you get a divorce. There are only one or two exceptions to this rule and they relate to ownership of real property in another state or property inherited in another state.
