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?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Violet Ikeanyi Nwokoye (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Nwokoye Law Firm
If the home was bought during marriage, then it is presumed a community property and thus 50/50 absent any evidence to the contrary. If the home was bought before marriage, it is presumed a separate property absent any evidence to the contrary. Separate properties can be subject to findings requiring the spouse owner to reimbursement the community estate or the other spouse of any contribution to its improvement and or increases in value. You maybe entitled to some value in the property depending on which facts apply in your situation.

If after 10 years I found that I'm still married to my ex husband who remarried two years after me, what should we do?

Brent R. Chipman
Answered by attorney Brent R. Chipman
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Brent R. Chipman
You should first confirm whether or not your divorce was ever finalized. If it was not, it should not be difficult to complete the action now. You can ask the court to make the divorce effective back to a date prior to your next marriage. It is important for you to have the divorce finalized if there are provisions for child support, alimony, or the division of retirement benefits. If the new wife gets a divorce decree that gives her a portion of her husband's retirement benefits before you get a decree giving you part of his retirement, her order will take precedence of your order and could affect the amount you receive. You should contact an attorney to review the status of the first divorce to see what other issues might arise if your husband next divorce is entered before you can finalize your proceeding, and to determine the effect on your current marriage.
