In Texas, do you have to actually sign a declaration of marriage to be married?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
Texas Family code (which is the binding law but no the Texas Constitution) 2.401 provides the elements of proof of an informal marriage. If you agreed to be married, lived together as husband and wife in Texas, and represented to others that you were married, then you are married. If this woman has remarried without divorcing you, her second marriage is invalid. There's a burden of proof here, though - you have to prove each element - the initial agreement to marry and the representing to others that you are married ("holding out") has to be open and public - saying you are married sometimes and other times not might not cut it. And lastly, why would you care.

Am I entitled to part of my home in a divorce?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
You may be entitled to some of the value of the home. My guess is you will be entitled to one-half of any increase of value from the time you got married to the divorce. It sounds like it is part of the community, but he may be able to maintain its separate property status. Get an attorney and talk over the details with him or her.
