Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Real Estate
In a community property state, if a home is purchased with monies from an estate, does the wife lose all claims to property in case of divorce even if her funds may have been used to pay on monthly mortage?
Thanks

The spouse would have a community property claim to the house because of comingling of estate funds with community funds. Better get a lawyer.
