Do I need to get a divorce or legal seperation?

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
There is no proper legal status called a "legal separation."  It is legal, meaning not unlawful, for spouses to separate at any time, with or without the ultimate goal of obtaining a divorce.  In practice, spouses usually separate at or before the time one files for a divorce.Your marital status as of the end of your tax year will determine what marital status to claim on your federal tax returns. Your accountant would best be able to explain to you whether it will be to your advantage to complete a divorce proceeding before the end of the year to take advantage of the "single" filing status or whether it would be to your advantage to wait to complete a divorce next year in order to file either a "joint" tax return or "married, filing separately."There is a mandatory sixty day waiting period in Texas from the time you file for divorce before a divorce can actually be granted.  In practice, because of the time it usually takes to negotiate and prepare a final decree of divorce and schedule time with the court for a prove-up, I'd give it six months.

If my name is not on the title, does that mean I do not own the house?

Texas is a community property state. Although your name is not on the deed, any property purchased during your marriage is considered community property. This means that the house and the mortgage loan are both owned by you and your husband equally.

Why can't I file my car stolen if we are still married?

Unfortunately due to the fact that you are still married, the vehicle you own is considered a part of your marital estate and may be considered community property (depending on where you purchased it). Be sure to contact a knowledgeable family lawyer to ask the Court that you be given exclusive use and possession of the vehicle. If you're filing for divorce on your own, you're going to need some help.
