I am getting a divorce. My soon to be ex decided to destroy a few of my belongings before he left our house, including a living room set and computer (given to me by my mother prior to the marriage), clothes, and a few other minor items. Will he get away without having to reimburse me for the broken/damaged items because of the 50/50 laws that accompany marriage in Texas? Please help! Thanks, in advance.

One of the most common questions spouses ask when confronting a marriage crisis is this: How can I save my marriage if my partner doesn't want to help find a solution? How do I succeed I am trying to save my marriage on my own? Learn here https://tr.im/RcpbG
It is a typical enough story: one partner leaves, the other stays. One remains 'in love', the other is uncertain. Whatever it is that has caused a couple to be apart, the one person who remains bears the prospect, fear, doubt, desire, hope of saving his or her marriage' alone.
