Rio Bravo, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

There are more details needed here; however, in Texas if he never revoked his last will & testament in writing by writing another will after their divorce, the will he wrote while married to your friend is still valid. Please advise your friend to consult with a local attorney who is familiar with estate planning.

You should get a California attorney to help you find out if you were divorced.  If you remarried while still married, you are committing bigamy.  Most of the time no one prosecutes.  But your current "husband" could raise it in your divorce, because your claim to community property is dependent on your being married.  You cannot be married to two people at the same time so your second marriage would not be valid. It would become valid upon your divorce to the first husband (if you are not already divorced from him). This is for general educational purposes only.

That is untrue.  Typically, when parties file for divorce, they either agree or the court enters temporary orders detailing which party gets exclusive temporary use and possession of real estate, motor vehicles, and potentially other property and which recurring bills each party is ordered to pay during the pendency of the case.  Such temporary orders may also include temporary support for a spouse or any children of the marriage, interim attorney fees if one party in in control of most of the community funds, and a parenting plan for custody & possession of any children.It is not automatic that each spouse must pay 1/2 of all bills.
