Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Hello, I live in Austin Tx. I thought our divorce was going to be mutual agreement. After I presented her with the petition for divorce, now she wants insurance coverage, 1/2 of my 401k and 1/2 of whatever money I have saved throughout our marriage as assets.She said she got a lawyer. What should I do? Thank You.

Fran Brochstein Attorney & Mediator

The answer is simple - get an experienced family law attorney to assist you.

I'd look on this website (www.lawguru.com) and on www.avvo.com for lawyers. Both post free questions and answers and you can read responses and get a "free" for an attorney in your county.

Try to get to mediation as soon as possible.

She is entitled to 1/2 of all assets and liabilities.

She is not entitled to insurance coverage after the marriage is over.
