If I got married in Nicaragua, can I file for divorce here in the US?

Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock
Answered by attorney Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
If the marriage was valid in Nicaragua, it is presumed to be valid in Texas. If you have met the residence requirements, you are entitled to file for divorce in Texas; however, you may have some difficulty in serving your husband with notice of the divorce case. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

How long do you have to be married to someone to obtain their house that’s only in their name?

Answered by attorney Lucio Antonio Montes (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Montes Law Firm
If the house is in the boyfriend's name and he had it before the marriage, it is considered separate property. She may be able to kick him out for a short period of time, but in the end the house will return back to the owner. Upon divorce she may have a claim for reimbursement, but that is not likely to happen if she is only married to the guy a short period of time. She will not be able to marry him, kick him out and then keep his house.

Is my spouse entitle to any of the retirement plan?

Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock
Answered by attorney Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
The portion of the plan that existed prior to marriage is separate property and belongs entirely to you. The portion earned during the marriage is community property and can be divided in a divorce. I suggest you hire a lawyer.
