Yes, dear. Texas is a community property state.
Edit to add: Joy is right - it's also a non-alimony state. But if you have kids and she gets custody, be prepared to practically pay alimony, anyhow, as Texas judges are fairly generous with the child support.

Distribution of Property
Texas is believed to be a "community property" state, which means that a mathematical formula is used to divide the property, where the judge has a right to improvise. The property is to be divided into "marital" and "separate" property. Practically observed in Texas, though, judges are educated to do what is fair according to them in carrying out community property division, even if that means deviating from the formula.

Here's a tip: if you stay married, you don't have to worry about what she's entitled to. So, invest a little money in marriage counseling. There's nothing going wrong that can't be fixed if you both work at it.

Or a minimum of that's what my ex husband pronounced after the decide right here in Texas gave me each and every thing different than the debt-yet I additionally had an quite sturdy criminal expert. Husband grow to be abusive, a cheater, a liar, a loser. that's what made it less difficult for me to get each and every thing on an identical time as he have been given the charges. criminal expert, criminal expert, criminal expert.
