Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Divorce
My husband and I are separated. The problem is I think he may ask for my pickup in the divorce because it is paid for. The thing is, my dad gave that to me as a gift about 1 year ago. It is only in my name. Can I sell it before the divorce or give it to my mom as a gift before the divorce?

Re: Divorce
Talk to a lawyer. If you are accused of defrauding the marital estate of assets you could be in big trouble. In fact, property acquired during marriage as a gift, is your separate property. You will need to establish the nature of the pickup as a gift solely to you.
