Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

1. Prepare a pre-nup and post-nup. You need both& an attorney must represent you in order for it to be valid in Texas.

2. Keep everything separate - bank accounts, tax returns, etc.

3. Live together but don't get married.

4. You cannot purchase anything with him - house, car, etc.

So basically live like you are single.

Talk to a CPA about your options. I also recommend consulting with a family law attorney in your area. You might also want to talk to an estate planning attorney if you have assets that you need to protect.

By the way, the IRS can be very nasty if you are married -- even if it's his debt -- I learned that the hard way! They attached my paycheck even though it was a debt BEFORE our marriage.
