My husband moved out after 32 years. Major circumstances. He’s also having an affair. In the state of Texas do I confront him redo I just gather infor

While there is no legal prohibition on confronting him about his affair, he may react poorly to such a confrontation and stop providing you with financial support of any kind.  While fault in the breakup of a marriage is one factor the court can consider in making a disproportionate division of your community assets, proof of an affair is unlikely to substantially affect the division.  In my experience, that may persuade a court to go from something like 50-50 to something like 55-45 in your favor.What is important is what community assets he has spent, and is spending, on the girlfriend.  Make sure you gather together as much information as you can, including bank statements and credit card statements, to show what he has been spending on her.  Another good place to get information is from any frequent flyer, rental car, hotel, etc. accounts he has.  In many cases, the court will require him to "reconsitute" the community estate for funds spent on a paramour.  So, if he spent $150,000 on her, the court could award you $150,000 of remaining community funds to offset the money he already spent.

Can I revise the divorce to where he only gets to claim my child when he is up to date on support?

Check with your tax preparer, but the usual rule is that the parent with primary possession of the child gets the dependency exemption, no matter what the state court divorce decree says.

What can I do if my wife just abandoned me?

Dennis Marston Slate
Answered by attorney Dennis Marston Slate
Divorce lawyer at Slate Associates Attorneys at Law
In Texas a spouse can divorce their spouse without a cause. Texas is a no fault state. If you have children with her, you need to file for divorce where you live quickly to prevent your wife from filing where ever she moved to and forcing you to defend yourself there. The same could also be said even if you do not have kids together, since it is easier and less costly for you to deal with a lawsuit close to where you live rather than where she lives.
