In texas , how long do you have to be married to get 1/2 of the 401k but had 401k before I got married ..married 4 1/2 years ?

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
Your husband is correct. Property you own at the time of divorce is assumed to be community property and is divisible in the divorce.  This is true whether the marriage is six months or 30 years.   A portion of your 401(k) is your separate property to the extent it was earned prior to your marriage. The court cannot take that portion from you or divide it with husband.  It is your burden, however, to prove how much you had in your 401(k) at the time of your marriage.  Request a statement from the month of marriage from the administrator of your 401(k).  The value of the 401(k) at the time of the marriage then is subtracted from the value at (close to) date of divorce.  The result is the community, divisible portion of the 401(k).   So for example, if you had $25,000 in your 401(k) at the time of marriage, and now it is worth $100,000, $75,000 of the account is divisble in the divorce.  So you and your hsuband would be dividing the $75,000.00.  Of course, if Husband has a retirement account then you are entiteld to the community property portion of his retirement account.

Can DES do a DNA test without my knowledge or consent?

William R. Pelger
Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Divorce lawyer at Pelger Law
That's a complicated situation. You would have to file support enforcement proceedings against someone you have now remarried and share a home with? You really need to go to the Family Division, see a counselor and look at the file to learn what is actually going on. Or, hire a lawyer to do it for you. As far as the testing, the Family Division can do mouth swabs on a reputed father if paternity is an issue, but the story sounds suspicious to me. Normally, DNA testing is difficult to get retroactively, is generally done only by court order, and is usually initiated by one of the parties, not the Family Division.

Seeking a divorce from a Canadian citizen not living in the United States

Hilary B. Miller
Answered by attorney Hilary B. Miller
Divorce lawyer at Hilary B. Miller
Generally speaking, you should proceed with a divorce. The fact that you have not lived together is essentially irrelevant and, again, generally, a divorce will be more readily, and less expensively, available. You will need to commence the divorce action in the state where you reside, not where you were married. There is a procedure for serving absent defendants, regardless of where they reside. An attorney can assist you in this process. Get an attorney.
