If purchased property prior to divorce summons common property?

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The 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.

In case of divorce is the wife entitled to half the property?

Christopher Michael Farish
Answered by attorney Christopher Michael Farish (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Quaid Farish, LLC
That is a complicated question.  The State of Texas operates under a community property presumption, which means that anything purchased during the marriage is presumed to be community property unless proven otherwise by a party.  It wouldn't matter whether your husband put the property only in his name or in both of your names because the fact that it was purchased during marriage would imply that it is community property.  If your husband has separate assets and purchases the home with those separate assets and he can prove those facts, then it would be beneficial for you to have the home in your name as well for a variety of reasons that are too numerous to list here.  The Court will divide all community property equitably, which may mean half and half, or it may mean something different.  The first question will be whether the home is community property, then, if it is community, the Court will determine how to equitably divide the house and all the other assets.
