69 Questions Answered
Q. My ex is trying to go for sole custody to avoided child support and they keep telling me I'm a unfit mother
A: This is an unfortunate but not uncommon situation. Provided the allegations regarding your maternal fitness are untrue, it is unlikely he will be successful. You do, however, need an attorney representing you to protect your interests.
Q. I am being sued by my ex- in-laws for original petition and for adoption of a child. I received the documents on may 7.
A: You do need an attorney, and right away. The attorney can review the documents, advise you and prepare the appropriate response.
Q. my husband owned a home prior to our marriage. after we were married he refinanced it in both our our names.
A: In Texas, everything earned during the marriage by each party is considered to be community property unless it can be shown otherwise. If he purchased the boat with community funds, it is presumed to be community property. Having an account in his name does not mean the account is his money. The funds belong to the community unless he can show otherwise.

If he purchased the home before the marriage, the home is separate property. You may be entitled to a claim for reimbursement, though. You need a good local family law attorney to represent you in this matter.
