Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

There isn't a simple answer to this question.

Bottom line: Half of his income is yours under community property laws. But you don't have the right to demand that he give you half of his paycheck each week.

His income is community property, but HE has the sole right to manage it.

Your response would be, "Wait a minute ... half of it belongs to me, but HE has the absolute right to decide how it's spent?"

Yes.

He has a duty to spend his paycheck in a way that benefits "the community" - the paying of bills, buying groceries, etc.

The only way to get your "split" is to file for divorce.
