Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Wife puts husband through school, husband starts making good money and leaves wi

I know Texas is limited. Please help with any add'l ideas that may apply in Texas. What can I do to keep all assets and make him pay continued spousal support. Also, any ideas on how to legally hold the 3rd party accountable for the break up of a 20 year marriage. I'll take anything,it seems hopeless. How can he just walk away expecting 50% of something he did not morally or financially invest in. I have character wtnesses and proof of adultery. Please help?

Re: Wife puts husband through school, husband starts making good money and leave

With findings of fault, a judge may award more than the typical 50/50 split. So while you may not persuade a judge to award you 100% of the assets, you may be entitled to more than 50%. In addition, you may qualify for spousal support (aka alimony) because you were married for the requisite amount of time. If you are in the Dallas county or its contiguous counties, call my law office for a free phone consultation at 214-712-9242.
