My husband now wants a divorce. I am concerned because he says that he can get a share of the property I owned before we were married. In Texas there are basically two kinds of property, community property and separate property. Community property is most of what you acquire while you are married. It is considered to be jointly owned and is generally divided at the time of divorce.
Separate property is considered to be owned by just one spouse.
In most cases, separate property is not divided in a divorce. Property you owned before you married is considered separate property. It is unlikely that your husband would receive any share of your separate property. I suggest, however, that you discuss this more fully with your attorney. You may remarry in 30 days.
