Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Rights on the house
I have been married for 1 year. My
spouse started house construction as
a general contractor just before
getting married, but he got a job out
of state about 8 months ago and I
stay here, finishing the house that it
is almost completed. I have paid for
several items in the house as drywall
and appliances and work in other
parts of the house because we run
out of money and I am doing
finishing work as painting, electrical,
cleaning among others.
We have not closed on the house
and he does not want to tell he is
married on the closing date because
he saids that will increase interests
payments.
What are my rights on this house if
it is under his name?

Re: Rights on the house
property acquired during the marriage is presumed to be community property regardless of what he puts on the deed. The title company might not let him get by with that little scheme either.
