Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: Divorce

Take your share of the drop money right now and wave goodby to this creep. With your share of this drop money, maybe you can find a better husband. Good Luck.

Re: Divorce

Any time someone says "we need a divorce" for reasons other than getting a divorce I'm suspicious. Maybe that's just 25 years practicing law talking, but I think you need a good lawyer.

Re: Divorce

Amen to James Grissom's answer.

What rights do you have?

You have the right to AT LEAST 50% of all the assets since the date you married -- other than gifts and inheritance.

Anything you received as a gift (perfume, jewelry, etc.) is also your separate property.

You must also share 50% of the debts -- unless he spent the money on a girl friend or some other reason where only he benefitted.

What a bum!

If you file for divorce, you get 1/2 the drop. Sounds like you need to lose him anyway. I am in Louisiana, but Texas is a community property state like ours.

Re: Divorce

You're probably going to need an attorney in Harris County. Texas is "no fault" so if he wants a divorce he's going to get it. You need someone to protect your rights!

If he is just now eligible for a DROP account there's probably nothing in it yet, but that doesn't mean you don't have a claim against his retirement.
