Giddings, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

If the house is in the boyfriend's name and he had it before the marriage, it is considered separate property. She may be able to kick him out for a short period of time, but in the end the house will return back to the owner. Upon divorce she may have a claim for reimbursement, but that is not likely to happen if she is only married to the guy a short period of time. She will not be able to marry him, kick him out and then keep his house.

Unfortunately, due to the issues surrounding your case (having children, one of whom has been abused by your ex husband), it will be very difficult for you to pursue this case on your own. You want to ensure that you receive as many protections as you can for your children as well as whatever you are entitled to financially (child support, your share of community property, etc.). As such, I recommend contacting several local attorneys and asking them if they offer payment plans or alternative billing arrangements to handle cases like yours. If you don't find any attorneys willing to take your case at a reduced fee or willing to make payment arrangements, my next suggestion is to ask for help from close family and friends. You need a qualified attorney's representation for the best possible outcome. Good luck.
