Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Divorce/Assets

He purchased a home in Oct '95, we have lived in it together since day 1. We lived together prior to that as well, we have been together since Sept 89. We got a Declaration & Registration of Informal Marriage in Sept '05 & set our Date of Declaration as 9-6-05, this date being prior to the purchase of the house. Does this give me any claim to owning the house? He says it is his & his only. Thank you for your help.

As you already realize, your situation is messy. If you are able to trace your financial contributions to the property, you might be entitled to some reimbursement. The value of the property equity dating from 9-6-2005 is community property, but the remainder will require serious negotiation and evidence.
