In case of divorce is the wife entitled to half the property?

Christopher Michael Farish
Answered by attorney Christopher Michael Farish (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Quaid Farish, LLC
That is a complicated question.  The State of Texas operates under a community property presumption, which means that anything purchased during the marriage is presumed to be community property unless proven otherwise by a party.  It wouldn't matter whether your husband put the property only in his name or in both of your names because the fact that it was purchased during marriage would imply that it is community property.  If your husband has separate assets and purchases the home with those separate assets and he can prove those facts, then it would be beneficial for you to have the home in your name as well for a variety of reasons that are too numerous to list here.  The Court will divide all community property equitably, which may mean half and half, or it may mean something different.  The first question will be whether the home is community property, then, if it is community, the Court will determine how to equitably divide the house and all the other assets.

Check with the Clerk of Courts for the county where the divorce was filed, they can give exact dates when things happened.

My husband of 59 years now wants a divorce and said I could not get half of his pension. What am I entitled to?

Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock
Answered by attorney Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
Any part of the pension earned prior to the marriage is the party's separate property and must be awarded to that party. The portion earned during the marriage is community property and can be divided in the divorce. Any other property acquired during the marriage is presumed to be community property; however, Texas marital property is complex and I suggest you hire a lawyer.
