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

default-avatar
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.

Does Common Law Marriage really exist in Houston, Texas?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
Yes, really. The three elements are agreement that you are married, cohabitation and holding yourselves out in the community as married. The fact that there are no documents or writings proving any of these elements does not prevent a court from finding a common law marriage if there are other kinds of evidence. Even oral testimony alone is enough if the judge (or jury) believes it.

Is it up to me to find my ex or do I have to hire an attorney?

Divorce lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
Generally up to you to find him. If he has stopped payment and owes, show cause him in the Court which has jurisdiction over the divorce.
