Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

divorce

I supported my x-spouse for 15 years while they earned a PhD and promised that we would quickly pay off debt after they got a job. Before they got a job, they filed for divorce taking 1/2 of the stock and 401k savings.

My question is, ''Is there a precedent for winning a legal suite to collect 15 years of room and board from a x-spouse in this situation?''

Did they take half, or they have filed for divorce, and are asking for half? If the divorce is final, and more than thirty days has passed, it is not likely to you can re-litigate any of the issues involved in the divorce. You don't have a claim to room and board in the marriage, but the equities of the situation might have swung more than 50 percent your direction.
