Kaufman, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

In my opinion your questions are not answerable in this brief forum. I see family law, civil and criminal inquiries by you surrounding the vehicle loan and registration. Then you seem to he dealing with bankruptcy law as well as family when discussing your ex-spouses BK filing. In your case I will only recommend that you personally consult with an attorney insuring to provide him/her with a copy of all relevant documents. Good luck.

In Texas, all property is considered community property if it was acquired during the marriage unless it was acquired by gift, devise (granted through a Will) or descent (inherited without a Will). Thus, if the property is purchased while the couple is still married, it will be considered commuinty property even if the couple is separated. However, either party can request that any property be awarded 100% to the party in a divorce proceeding. Also, couples who have been separated for a long time often come to an agreement on how property will be divided. If there is no agreement, the court has a duty to make a just and right division of all community property. When couples are separated for a long time, it is possible to make an argument as to why getting 100% of certain property is just and right. However, it is up to the court to make the ultimate decision on property division if the parties cannot come to an agreement.

You can usually file divorce in the court that has jurisdiction. You should look at the jurisdiction rules in Kansas before filing. Some states require a minimum residency requirement of 60 days or 90 days. Once jurisdiction is proper then you can file in those courts without repercussions.
