What forms do I need and what exactly should I do about the 401k and savings plan I was awarded in my divorce?

Divorce lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
You must get certified copies of the qualified domestic relations order and send that to the plans administrator. If you ask, your attorney will do it for you and probably do it right.

Can my ex take money from CD my dad & I had before we married, that matured after married and put in a separate savings account?

Talk to your attorney. It sounds like your separate property money. You would have to trace it properly. If you can trace it, then your husband has no right to the money.

In Texas, do you have to actually sign a declaration of marriage to be married?

Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
You don't have to sign a declaration of marriage to be married by common law in Texas. However, if she was already married to someone else, just cohabiting with you and holding herself out as married to you doesn't make her a bigamist. Likewise, cohabiting with the next guy doesn't make her a bigamist even if she's married to you by common law. You can't get married by common law if you're already married. Even if she married someone else formally after she split with you, you're very, very unlikely to get a prosecutor to charge her with bigamy. Your right to claim common law marriage will end two years after the split if you haven't filed for divorce by then.
