The husband needs to hire an attorney. The wife can ask for anything. However, only a judge makes the decisions. If the husband owned the "stuff" before marriage it his usually his separate property. However, if the husband does not let the judge know that it belonged to him before marriage, then the judge could give it to the wife.

The husband needs an attorney!

In the Houston area, I recommend Patricia Bushman at 713-807-9405 or Rose Cardenas at 832-461-1660. I'm not accepting contested cases since my mom is very ill. Tell them that FRAN sent you!

Good luck!
