Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Property owned before marriage is separate property. It is the burden of the person claiming the separate property to establish the separate nature. If the marital estate, or the husband's separate estate contributed to the upkeep, care, maintenance, improvement of that home, then those estates may be owed reimbursement. If the property has been so commingled, then it may have lost its separate character, i.e. extensive permanent improvements, refinancing, etc. An attorney would have to review your situation to be able to give you a more specific assessment.
