Can my ex have me taken of the title of the home we had built?

Jason Alan Ostendorf
Answered by attorney Jason Alan Ostendorf (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Jason Ostendorf LLC
I'm sorry to hear about the difficult situation you're facing. Since you're in Texas, your legal rights to the home are protected under community property laws if the home was acquired during your relationship. Here's what you need to know: Ownership Rights:If your name is on the title, you are legally recognized as a co-owner. In Texas, community property rules apply, so any property acquired during the marriage is presumed to belong to both parties equally, regardless of whose name is on the title. Your ex cannot unilaterally remove your name or refinance without your consent. Community Property and Buyouts:Even if the home was solely in your ex's name, you might still have a claim if it was acquired during the marriage or if you contributed financially (e.g., toward the mortgage or improvements). Typically, your ex would need to either buy out your share of the home or agree to sell it and divide the proceeds equitably. Protective Orders:While the protective orders restrict your access to the property, they do not affect your ownership rights. It's crucial to continue complying with the orders to avoid legal complications, but these orders don’t strip you of your financial interest in the home. Legal Recourse:If your ex is pressuring you to give up your rights without compensation, you should not agree without consulting a qualified divorce attorney. Although I'm a Maryland divorce lawyer, I often advise clients in similar situations that ownership disputes in community property states like Texas require a fair resolution, such as a buyout or an equitable division. You deserve a fair share of the home’s value, and a Texas divorce attorney can help you assert your rights and negotiate or litigate as needed. Don’t let your ex’s demands pressure you into giving up what you’re entitled to.

If my husband used inheritance to buy a house for us and i entitled to that money or does he get to decide what to do with after we sell

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at Overstreet Law Firm
Was the inheritance money the only money used? Was there a mortgage? We're any improvements made to the house.  In Texas, all property is presumed to be community property upon dissolution of the marriage. The inheritance money was his separate property, but the house may not be completely his separate property. It depends on a number of factors.
