Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Am I entitled to part of the equity in our home?

My husband and I have been married for 3 years. Lived together for a year before marraige. The house was purchased 2 years before I moved in. I have lived in it 4 of the 6 years. Since then, we refinanced the home. My name is on the deed. He wants to make the kids and I leave so that he can sell it. He says that because it was his before we were married, I am not entitled to anything.

Re: Am I entitled to part of the equity in our home?

If your name is on the deed then the title company will require you to sign the papers in order for them to issue a new title policy.

I strongly urge you to talk to an attorney before you move out of the house with the minor children.

I'm out sick but there are 2 other attorneys in the office - Mary Ann Harris and Judy Ritts -- that would be glad to quote you a price and meet with you.

Good luck!
