I am in texas can my wife be granted my home

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
If the home was purchased during the marriage, it is community property and subject to being divided in the divorce. The division can happen in a number of ways. The home could be sold and the proceeds of the sale split between you and your wife, or one of you could buy the other person out and refinance the home, taking the other person off the loan. If you purchased the home before the marriage, it is your separate property and not subject to division in a divorce.

What should I do if my ex won't sign the divorce papers?

File a request for entry of default and then submit a request for judgment and all the required documents. You may need the help of a lawyer or paralegal to complete this. Good luck.

Do I have to leave the house after my husband has filed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Reshard Juquin Alexander (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at RJ Alexander Law, PLLC
You do not have to leave your house after the initial divorce petition has been filed. However, there should be a temporary orders hearing within a few days of the filing that determines these types of issues. Because Texas is a community property state you are entitled to half of everything that has been earned by either party outside of a gift, inheritance, or a personal injury settlement. I would advise you to contact a local family lawyer very quickly to properly protect your interests in this case.
