Re: Financial seperation
In Texas, we don't have legal separation so all debts and assets continue until the day you are divorced.
The only way to protect yourself is to ask the Court for temporary orders that prevent either of you from hiding assets or incurring unnecessary debt.
I charge $990 deposit to start a divorce with temporary orders. Then I have a weekly payment plan after that.
Call me if you are interested.
