What do I need to do if I don't want to proceed with my military husbands petition for divorce from his home state?

Bradley Roger Gammell
Answered by attorney Bradley Roger Gammell (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gammell & Associates
The proper way to contest personal jurisdiction in the divorce suit is for you to file what is called a Special Appearance.   In it you can claim that you do not have sufficient contacts with Texas for the State to exercise jurisdiction over you.  There are exceptions.   For example, if you were a resident of Texas when you were married and then moved out of state in conjunction with your husband's orders, then Texas considers you to remain a Texas resident for divorce purposes.   One other point:  Your husband's claim that you will get nothing in Texas is simply wrong.   Among other things, you will be entitled to a pro-rata portion of his military retirement (assuming that he makes it to 20 years).  In addition, Texas values assets like retirement as of the date of divorce whereas California values them as of the date of separation.   Therefore, you would be entitled to slightly more retired pay if you divorce in Texas.

How do I go about the post nuptial my husband is asking for and make sure we get 50/50?

Answered by attorney Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Helene Ellenbogen P.S.
What you can reasonably bargain for depends on a myriad of issues. You do not have to agree to a post nuptial agreement at all. You have to address every asset separately to see what was earned during the marriage or paid for with marital funds (earnings during the marriage). Those things should certainly be construed as community property which, if you divorce, is not necessarily 50/50. It just has to be fair (equitable). The other question to ask is why is he wanting this now? Is he getting ready for a divorce? Please find a lawyer to help you with this. It's complicated and if you sign it without legal advice, you're stuck with it.

If the house is not in my name, in Texas, can my legal husband kick me and my son out for no reason but his rage?

No, you have a right to your communal home. If your son is also his son and a minor, your husband has a duty to support that child as well.
