Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: divorce

If this were litigated under NC Law and the trust income were considered your separate property, depositing it to a joint account could be determined to be a gift of the income to the marriage. These moneys would certainly be included in any determination of dependent/supporting spouse for purposes of post separation support and alimony.

NC does not have a concept of community property except upon a legal separation, the claim of equitable distribution can require that property held by one spouse but marital property be subject to division.

See a NC attorney for more info.

Re: divorce

Income generated by separate property is community property.
