Will my sister be forced to leave her apartment when divorce is filed?

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
This is something the lawyer will answer after getting more information from your sister. The Court will make orders that are in the best interest of the children and if that means mom lives in the apartment with the children, any Texas Court can make that order.

Is the separate property for my wife or community property?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
The house that your wife purchased is her separate property; however, any payments you made toward the mortgage or to the improve the home are subject to a reimbursement claim back to you because you contributed to her separate property by making payments. The 401(k) from her job may be separate or community property depending on when she started her employment. Any contributions to the 401(k) plan prior to your marriage are separate property. Contributions after the marriage are community property, whether she made the contributions or you did. In any case, any income from any source (including retirement account contributions) are community property as of the date of your marriage. I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with a local family law attorney to discuss your rights and options in your case.

Husband wont sign waiver of service because divorce decree he thinks i am asking for car, thought it was stating what was our property together

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If your husband won't sign the waiver of service, you will need to have him served at his work address or home address if you two are separated. You will need to request a citation from the court and you can send the petition via certified mail or a process server can personally deliver it for a fee.
