The only issue would be with immigration. However, after 14 years and a child here, that is unlikely to be an issue. Consult with an attorney to discuss in great detail.

This is a very complicated area of the law and is ever changing. The place to file, if possible, would most likely be where they last resided together. What you need to do is actually go see an attorney, face to face.

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.
