Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am a US Citizen that got the residency for my husband 2 years ago. The relationship is deteriorated years ago and although we live in the same house, he threatens to leave us with nothing. He has all his assets in Mexico - a construction company, equipment, bank accounts, etc. He opened up a "Business Account" which is not really operational - but he still uses the checking account - I figure to comply with his residency in that he must work in the US. He breaks all promises and although he makes a very good living but only gives the family barely enough for groceries, utilities and the home payment and insurance. Our utility services and phone is always getting disconnected while he is traveling around with a lady friend. How can I legally implement the 50/50, and how far back can I go? He has sold a couple of airplanes, 3 gas stations and one newspaper business, and spent the money: He loves to politic in Mexico, and actually spent around $1 million Dollars. I'm desperate, without any money or savings. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the State of Texas has no jurisdiction over property outside the State of Texas. Of course, this includes Mexico.

I don't think that you are in Harris County. I am primarily in Harris County.

I highly recommend PAT BUSHMAN at 713.807.9405. Please tell PAT that FRAN sent you to her!
