In Texas, do you have to actually sign a declaration of marriage to be married?

Answered by attorney Joan M. Durkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Durkin & Graham, P.C.
Common law or informal marriage has 4 key elements but there is also a statute of limitations after the break up on how long you have to seek divorce. Regardless of whether you satisfy these 4 elements and the statute of limitations you would be unlikely to convince the local DA to prosecute her.

If purchased property prior to divorce summons common property?

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
In Texas, all property is considered community property if it was acquired during the marriage unless it was acquired by gift, devise (granted through a Will) or descent (inherited without a Will). Thus, if the property is purchased while the couple is still married, it will be considered commuinty property even if the couple is separated. However, either party can request that any property be awarded 100% to the party in a divorce proceeding. Also, couples who have been separated for a long time often come to an agreement on how property will be divided. If there is no agreement, the court has a duty to make a just and right division of all community property. When couples are separated for a long time, it is possible to make an argument as to why getting 100% of certain property is just and right. However, it is up to the court to make the ultimate decision on property division if the parties cannot come to an agreement.

Your questions are too complicated to answer in an email. I suggest you hire a lawyer to review the documents related to the purchase, etc.
