Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I want to divorce my husband who is serving a ten-year prison sentence; he has served seven years. He wants half of everything but I have been raising our two young children and had been paying the mortgage since he had been imprisoned. What are his rights with our community property and with the children?

Since your divorce is now contested, hire an attorney.
Obviously since he is in prison he won't have visits with the child. You can get sole custody - rarely done in Texas - but since he's in prison you will probably get it. You want to have all the rights & duties to make decisions for the children.
Regarding property, technically it's community property but since he has not contributed to the household in quite awhile, judges will have some compassion for you.
