Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Divorce question
My parents are getting a divorce becuase my father had several affairs. My mom is selling the house and wants all the proceeds, but that is all. She doesn't want 1/2 his retirement or any of his other assets. Both of my parents have worked throughout the entire marraige (of 28 years). Does my mom have a chance of getting the house money???

Re: Divorce question
Your mother needs to make an accurate list of all assets and liabilities the community estate has as of today.
Then the assets and liabilities need to be divided approximately 50/50. If she pleads for a disproportionate share of the estate, she might receive something like 60-40.
Your question is an excellent reason to hire an attorney to represent you in a legal matter.
Best of luck!
