If my husband pulled money out of his savings plan at work and bought us a house i have no rights to it?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
It depends on when he bought the house. If he bought the home before you were married, the house is is separate property except for any money you paid into purchasing the home, making mortgage payments, or improvements to the property. If he bought the home after you were married, the house is your community property and you are a 50% owner of the home without regard to where the money to purchase the home came from. There are some exceptions to these general rules, but that's the basic idea.

How do we proceed with our amicable divorce?

There are various steps that must be taken before an agreement to give up rights will be enforced by the court. I suggest you meet with a family law paralegal to help you prepare the multitude of forms and documents you will need.

Is an inheritance I recieved and then put my wifes name on the account considered community property in texas?

Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)

No, an inheritance is separate property. If you use the money for the purchase of something else that both of you will use and enjoy (like a house), then it becomes quasi-community (or partially community) property.
