Can my ex have me taken of the title of the home we had built?

Jason Alan Ostendorf
Answered by attorney Jason Alan Ostendorf (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Jason Ostendorf LLC
I'm sorry to hear about the difficult situation you're facing. Since you're in Texas, your legal rights to the home are protected under community property laws if the home was acquired during your relationship. Here's what you need to know: Ownership Rights:If your name is on the title, you are legally recognized as a co-owner. In Texas, community property rules apply, so any property acquired during the marriage is presumed to belong to both parties equally, regardless of whose name is on the title. Your ex cannot unilaterally remove your name or refinance without your consent. Community Property and Buyouts:Even if the home was solely in your ex's name, you might still have a claim if it was acquired during the marriage or if you contributed financially (e.g., toward the mortgage or improvements). Typically, your ex would need to either buy out your share of the home or agree to sell it and divide the proceeds equitably. Protective Orders:While the protective orders restrict your access to the property, they do not affect your ownership rights. It's crucial to continue complying with the orders to avoid legal complications, but these orders don’t strip you of your financial interest in the home. Legal Recourse:If your ex is pressuring you to give up your rights without compensation, you should not agree without consulting a qualified divorce attorney. Although I'm a Maryland divorce lawyer, I often advise clients in similar situations that ownership disputes in community property states like Texas require a fair resolution, such as a buyout or an equitable division. You deserve a fair share of the home’s value, and a Texas divorce attorney can help you assert your rights and negotiate or litigate as needed. Don’t let your ex’s demands pressure you into giving up what you’re entitled to.

Am I entitled to part of my home in a divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Violet Ikeanyi Nwokoye (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Nwokoye Law Firm
If the home was bought during marriage, then it is presumed a community property and thus 50/50 absent any evidence to the contrary. If the home was bought before marriage, it is presumed a separate property absent any evidence to the contrary. Separate properties can be subject to findings requiring the spouse owner to reimbursement the community estate or the other spouse of any contribution to its improvement and or increases in value. You maybe entitled to some value in the property depending on which facts apply in your situation.

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.
