In texas , how long do you have to be married to get 1/2 of the 401k but had 401k before I got married ..married 4 1/2 years ?

Zoe Ann Meigs

Your husband is correct. Property you own at the time of divorce is assumed to be community property and is divisible in the divorce.  This is true whether the marriage is six months or 30 years.   A portion of your 401(k) is your separate property to the extent it was earned prior to your marriage. The court cannot take that portion from you or divide it with husband.  It is your burden, however, to prove how much you had in your 401(k) at the time of your marriage.  Request a statement from the month of marriage from the administrator of your 401(k).  The value of the 401(k) at the time of the marriage then is subtracted from the value at (close to) date of divorce.  The result is the community, divisible portion of the 401(k).   So for example, if you had $25,000 in your 401(k) at the time of marriage, and now it is worth $100,000, $75,000 of the account is divisble in the divorce.  So you and your hsuband would be dividing the $75,000.00.  Of course, if Husband has a retirement account then you are entiteld to the community property portion of his retirement account.

Can my mother in law stays at my house without my consent

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
Both you and your wife have equal rights to allow visitors in the house. While you may certainly express your disagreement, you will not be able to keep her from having her family in the home. However, you said you have an open divorce case so the judge could order that one of you have exclusive use of the home. If you get exclusive use of the home during the pendency of the divorce, this issue would not be a problem because your wife would not be living in the home.

How can I file for divorce if my husband is in prison in another state?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If you live in Texas, you can file for divorce where you live and attempt to have your husband served at the correctional facility where he lives. If this doesn't work, you will need to ask the Court for permission to serve him by alternative means (by posting notice at the courthouse or in the newspaper). You would do well to hire an attorney to help you because your husband is incarcerated and may be difficult to obtain personal service on. You're welcome to contact my office for a phone consultation to discuss your case.
