If purchased property prior to divorce summons common property?

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at 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.

If a 6 year marriage ends in a divorce, in Springtown,TX., is the wife( who was a ‘stay at home Mom,’ ), i.e.,not working, entitled to alimony?

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
Texas courts will consider a request for spousal maintenance to be paid by a former spouse after divorce in certain circumstances. Spousal maintenance is like alimony but is court ordered.  The general rule is that only persons married ten years or more are eligible for spousal maintenance. If your daughter's child is a child of her husband and she maintains custody of the child, the father will be ordered to pay child support.   In some circumstances a court may make a temporary order for one spouse to pay the less monied spouse temporary spousal support while the divorce is going on.  It is fairly common for a husband to be ordered to support a stay at home mom while the divorce is pending.   There is an exception to the ten year marriage rule if there has been family violence that lead to the husband being convicted.  There is also an exception to the ten year rule for persons who cannot meet their minimum monthly needs because of an incapacitating physical or mental diability or because the spouse is caring for a child who has that degree of disability.

Can I still file for divorce if he is still in my home?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
Yes, you can file for divorce if you and your husband still share the same residence, although I would recommend that at least one of you consider relocating. If he is violent, be sure to call the authorities and ask for a protective order, which will keep him out of your home. Whenever you are dealing with a spouse who has a drug or alcohol problem, you're going to face unique challenges.
