Does Common Law Marriage really exist in Houston, Texas?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
Yes, really. The three elements are agreement that you are married, cohabitation and holding yourselves out in the community as married. The fact that there are no documents or writings proving any of these elements does not prevent a court from finding a common law marriage if there are other kinds of evidence. Even oral testimony alone is enough if the judge (or jury) believes it.

If my husband gives a car that is community property to his girlfriend, is she breaking any law?

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
She is not necesarily breaking any law but, under the right facts and circumstances, might become a party to a lawsuit for fraudulent transfer or for participating in and encouraging your husband's breach of fiduciary duty.In most instances, however, the court will simply compensate you in the division of your marital estate for the value of the gift.As an aside, if your husband has given a car that is community property to his girlfriend, he has most likely spent other money on her as well.  An audit or forensic accounting ought to be done of all of your accounts to determine if he has given more than just a car to her, and a claim for reconstitution of the community estate ought to be plead in your divorce proceeding.
