       Appellant and Appellee were married in 2007 and in 2012 Appellee filed for divorce. The

issues in the divorce case all involved property. A hearing on a request by Appellee for temporary

orders was held on March 24, 2014, and Appellant was ordered to pay temporary spousal support

to Appellee in the amount of $2,000 per month.

       Trial on the merits was conducted by the trial court on May 30, 2014; July 17, 2014; and July

18, 2014.

       The court granted the divorce, divided various items of personal property, and held that the

residence acquired by Appellant prior to the marriage was owned by the parties as tenants in

common. The trial court ordered a disproportionate division of the proceeds of the sale of a lot

adjoining the residence to Appellee, ordered Appellant to pay $8,000 in unpaid temporary spousal

support, and awarded Appellee $10,000 in attorney’s fees.

                                                 ix
                                   STATEMENT OF FACTS

       Appellant is a native of the United Kingdom who was trained as an accountant and worked

for Texaco for 28 years. His specialty was in the field of accounting for the oil and gas industry.

 He held a number of very responsible positions.           In that capacity he was also Texaco’s

representative to international organizations that developed and implemented software and

accounting systems for that industry.

       Appellant was married and has three daughters. He retired from Texaco when that company

was taken over by Chevron and had both vested retirement benefits and received what he called a

“redundancy,” another term for severance pay. He received those benefits both in a lump sum and

in periodic monthly installments of retirement benefits.

       In 2001 Appellant was employed by Shell Oil Company in Houston, Texas and living in an

apartment. Appellee was one of his neighbors. They met and began a romantic relationship.

Eventually they moved in together into Appellee’s apartment. Appellant began divorce proceedings

to be divorced in the U.K. While the divorce proceeding was pending Appellant altered or forged

some documents in order to mislead Appellee as to the status of his divorce.

       Appellant explained at trial that in the UK one can be divorced either by separation, which

is a longer process, or by alleging cruelty or adultery. Because of his concern about his family and

in particular one daughter about whose mental health he had concerns, he wanted to seek a divorce

by the less traumatic but slower divorce process. He modified the papers sent to him from the UK

to represent that divorce was imminent when the process was actually slower.

       Appellant left Shell and began to work as a international business consultant, taking jobs with

oil and gas producers in Mexico, Asia, and other places where he would work for several months by

                                                 x
contract for an agreed contract amount.       In 2006 he formed an LLC named Graham Global

Consulting to which his income as a consultant was paid. Appellant and Appellee lived together

at the time but Appellee was not shown as an owner of the company.

       Appellee wanted to move to Nacogdoches, her home town. The parties looked at residences

in Nacogdoches to consider purchase. In 2006 Appellant purchased a residence in Nacogdoches.

He paid the initial down payment and closing costs with funds sent to him by wire transfer from the

UK in the amount of $85,000. The residence was conveyed to Appellant alone as grantee and he

alone signed the note and deed of trust in order to secure a loan for payment of the balance.

Appellant paid off the balance in monthly installment payments of several thousand dollars sent to

him by wire transfer, and in less than two years had paid off the entire balance owed.

       Appellee claimed at trial that the parties had purchased the residence together with the

agreement that both would own it, and that Appellant had orally agreed to convey an interest in the

home to her. Appellant denied any such agreement.

       The parties were married on January 31, 2007. At the time of marriage Appellee had no

property of any value. She had defaulted in payment of student loan debt and Appellant showed at

trial that he had paid $63,000 of her student loan debt during their relationship.

       In 2008 a lot adjoining the residence lot became available for purchase. Appellant purchased

it in his name only and again solely signed a promissory note and deed of trust in order to secure a

loan. He paid several thousand dollars down. The parties made several payments on the lot, but

eventually they defaulted. Shortly before trial Appellant borrowed approximately $15,000 from his

sister and brother in law to pay off the balance owed on the lot to avoid foreclosure.

                                                 xi
       During the marriage Appellee seldom worked and earned little income. The parties lived on

income earned by Appellant in his consulting business. Appellant also had some income from his

retirement benefits earned prior to marriage and some funds he received from his father’s estate after

the father’s death.

       Appellant experienced numerous health issues. He had four strokes, two heart attacks, and

epileptic seizures. Both his physical health and mental capacity declined. He suffered from residual

effects on his mental functioning, slurring of words at times, problems maintaining his balance or

equilibrium, and memory problems. He has not worked since 2010. On several occasions he had

funds wire-transferred from the UK to pay living expenses and by the time the parties had separated

he had expended all his funds. At the time of trial his only income was his Texaco retirement check

from which he netted $1,856 per month.

       The parties had a tumultuous relationship, with numerous arguments and disputes. By the

end of 2011 they were discussing divorce. At this time Appellee was aware of Appellant’s health

issues. She testified at trial that she took him to see several medical specialists. She told Appellant

at that time she it was her turn to take care of him. However, the parties continued to bicker and

argue. In April of 2012 Appellant accompanied Appellee to Houston to help do repairs to the home

of an aunt of Appellee. The parties again argued and Appellant decided to leave to drive back to

Nacogdoches.     They wrestled over the car keys which Appellee refused to give to Appellant.

Appellee claimed at trial that on this occasion Appellant assaulted her. Appellant drove home and

when he arrived at his residence he discovered Appellee’s father removing personal property from

the residence.

                                                  xii
       The parties again discussed divorce and Appellant prepared a written document as evidence

of their agreement to divide their property. He secured $20,000 from the UK to pay to her as part

of a settlement. Appellee accepted the money but later denied she was bound by any agreement

because Appellant had “breached” that agreement because he had not executed all the documents

necessary for divorce before he left for a trip to the UK.

       According to Appellee’s divorce petition, the parties separated July 1, 2012. A few weeks

later Appellant traveled to the UK to see his family members and attend the wedding of a daughter.

       While Appellant was in the UK Appellee discovered that while he was there he had visited

some porn sites on line and she discovered the papers regarding his divorce from his previous spouse

that he had altered or forged.

       Much of the trial was consumed with Appellee’s evidence, presented in numerous three-ring

binders indexed and tabbed, itemizing all the wrongs that Appellant had done her, including

numerous counts of fraud, allegations that Appellant had committed adultery, numerous allegations

of assault or emotional distress, allegations that Appellant had visited porn sites while in the UK,

and evidence of the substantial income she could have earned in her occupation had she not married

Appellant. She testified at great length that her services to Appellant in connection with his

consulting business were critical to his ability to perform his job, to the extent that she should be

considered a partner in his business.

       Appellant’s response was that Appellee had no experience in accounting, much less the

specialized area in his expertise, that she never provided any services to a client, that she never

worked in a client’s workplace, that he had clerical and secretarial support from his clients in the

work place, and that he had never charged nor collected any compensation for any services by

                                                 xiii
Appellee. He further showed that while she may have proof-read reports to clients, she lacked the

knowledge and expertise to write any such reports.

       In March of 2014 Appellee set a hearing on a request for temporary orders, including a

request for temporary spousal support. Appellant appeared pro se, telling the court that his attorney

had withdrawn due to his inability to pay, he had just returned from the UK where he had suffered

another stroke, and that he could not pay spousal support. The trial court ordered him to pay to

Appellee temporary spousal support of $2,000 per month. He has not done so. The trial court

ordered him on final hearing to pay that support for four months, or $8,000.

       In a hearing held after the trial on the merits Appellant showed the trial court that he had

borrowed money to pay off the note on the lot which adjoined the residence and the trial court

modified its ruling to allow payment of that debt out of the proceeds of any sale before the parties

divided the remaining proceeds.

                               SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

       The trial court abused its discretion by judicially finding and declaring that Appellant and

Appellee are tenants in common as to the residence purchased by Appellant prior to their marriage.

The purported oral agreement for the conveyance of an interest in real property is not enforceable

because of the Statute of Frauds, found in TEXAS BUSINESS & COMMERCE CODE 26.01.

       If an oral agreement for the conveyance of an interest in real property is permitted under

Harrington v. Harrington, 742 S.W.2d 722 (Tex.App.–Houston [1st] 1987, no writ hist.) and Aaron

v Aaron, 2012 Tex.App. LEXIS 769 (Tex.App.–Houston [14th] 2012, no writ hist.), the evidence

heard by the trial court is insufficient to support an oral agreement in this case.

       To grant an interest to Appellee in Appellant’s residence is to divest him of an interest in his

separate property, which is an abuse of discretion.

       Any finding by the trial court that Appellant’s residence was not purchased with his separate

funds is unsupported by the evidence, as Appellant conclusively established that his funds earned

or acquired prior to marriage was the source of the down payment and mortgage payments.

       The trial court abused its discretion in failing and refusing to consider in its division of the

community property of the parties acts by Appellee which constitute fraud on the community estate

and involve an amount of money that is significant in relation to the total community estate.

       The trial court abused its discretion in failing and refusing to consider in its division of the

community property of the parties financial benefits Appellee received, including Appellant’s

payment of her student loans incurred prior to the marriage, when the amount involved was

significant in relation to the total community estate.

                                                  xv
       The trial court abused its discretion by considering evidence of alleged wrongful acts by

Appellant both prior to the marriage and after the parties had separated and agreed to divorce

because such evidence was not relevant to the issue of the breakup of the marriage.

       The trial court abused its discretion by ordering Appellant to pay temporary spousal support

to Appellee when the evidence showed that the amount ordered was in excess of his income, he was

disabled and unable to work, and he had no resources with which to pay support.

       The trial court abused its discretion in awarding to Appellee a disproportionate ownership

interest in a lot adjoining Appellant’s residence acquired during the marriage when the evidence

showed that Appellant provided the down payment and incurred debt to pay off the mortgage note

when foreclosure was threatened.

                             ARGUMENTS AND AUTHORITIES

       Appellant shows the court that the trial court in this divorce case abused its discretion and

committed errors as a matter of law that in reasonable likelihood caused or contributed to an unjust

or improper decision. Those errors are grouped by subject matter and argument is combined in

order to avoid duplication. All issues involve either the division of marital property or temporary

spousal support.

                                   POINT OF ERROR NO. 1:

    THE TRIAL COURT ABUSED ITS DISCRETION IN AWARDING APPELLEE AN

                                   POINT OF ERROR NO. 3:

     THE TRIAL COURT ERRED BY DIVESTING APPELLANT OF ONE-HALF OF HIS
OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN HIS SEPARATE PROPERTY RESIDENCE AND AWARDING
THAT INTEREST TO APPELLEE.

                                 THE STANDARD OF REVIEW

       The standard of review in a family law case is clear: whether the trial court abused its

discretion. “Abuse of discretion” occurs if a trial court makes a decision that is so arbitrary or

unreasonable that it amounts to a clear error. In re Bass, 113 S.W.3d 735 (Tex.2003). As long as

the trial court does not abuse its discretion it may divide the marital property in such a way as it

deems right. Mea v. Mea, 464 S.W.2d 201 (Tex.Civ.App.–Tyler 1971, no writ hist.). Despite that

                                                 1
broad discretion there must exist some reasonable basis for an unequal division of the property of

the parties. Knight v. Knight, 301 S.W.3d 723 (Tex.App.–Houston [14th] 2009, no writ hist.).

        A trial court abuses its discretion if it makes a finding without sufficient facts on which to

rationally base its ruling. Griffin v. Birkman, 266 S.W.3d 189 (Tex.App.–Austin 2008, pet. ref’d).

While a trial court has discretion to weigh evidence that supports its decision, if the evidence is

legally insufficient to support that decision the court abuses its discretion. In the Interest of M.C.F.,

121 S.W.3d 891 (Tex.App.–Fort Worth 2003, pet. dism’d).

        When a trial court fails to analyze or apply law correctly it may abuse its discretion. There

is no discretion in either determining what the law is or in applying the law to the facts. Walker v.

Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833 (Tex.1992); In re Allstate Insurance Company, 232 S.W.3d 340

(Tex.App.–Tyler 2007, no writ hist.). Even evidentiary rulings may abuse a trial court’s discretion

if they violate the Rules of Evidence. Landon v. Jean-Paul Budinger, Inc., 724 S.W.2d 931

(Tex.App.–Austin 1987, no writ hist.).

                        THE BASIS FOR THE TRIAL COURT’S RULING

        From comments made during the trial and the multitude of findings by the trial court against

the interest of Appellant the trial judge’s disapproval of Appellant’s conduct is obvious. However,

the court recognized that there was little community property and what is acquired prior to marriage

cannot be community property (RR Vol. 2, p.80.) The evidence showed that Appellee already had

almost all of it. She had all the operating motor vehicles the parties had acquired; had received

$20,000 from Appellant, which he secured to carry out an agreement between them in contemplation

of divorce (Ex. D-46, D-44); and she had emptied Appellant’s business bank account by taking

                                                   2
$9,400 without his consent, leaving that account overdrawn (Ex. D-44). The parties had already

divided their personal property with a few exceptions.

       The only property of any significant monetary value remaining was Appellant’s residence,

purchased by him prior to marriage. Under the facts and law the trial court was limited in what it

could do regarding that residence. The evidence was clear that the residence had been purchased

prior to marriage and that all the closing documents showed Appellant as the sole owner (Ex. R-11,

R-12, R-13). The substantial down payment made at closing of the purchase came from funds

acquired by Appellant prior to marriage. Appellant was able to trace all the payments made on the

mortgage note to their sources, his retirement benefits earned prior to marriage and his inheritance

from his father.

       There was no evidence of an enhancement in value of the residence by use of community

funds, so Appellant neither sought nor did the trial court award any reimbursement to the community

estate from Appellant’s separate estate.

       Under these circumstances, if the trial court wanted to award property to Appellee only one

option remained: find a way to give Appellee an interest in Appellant’s residence. So the trial judge

adopted a theory advanced by Appellee, that the parties jointly acquired Appellant’s residence as

“tenants in common.” The trial court then awarded Appellee an undivided one-half interest in

Appellant’s residence and ordered it sold.

       That theory has been adopted in only two cases of which Appellant is aware. In Harrington

v. Harrington, 742 S.W.2d 722 (Tex.App.–Houston [1st] 1987, no writ hist.), the court affirmed a

finding by the trial court that the parties were “tenants in common” in a residence acquired solely

in the husband’s name two years prior to marriage solely in his name. In 2012 the 14th Court of

                                                 3
Appeals followed Harrington as precedent in Aaron v. Aaron, 2012 Tex.App. LEXIS 769

(Tex.App.–Houston [14th] 2012, no writ hist.). There the court found that the parties had an oral

agreement to jointly own a residence purchased in the name of the husband solely as a matter of

convenience.

       The Findings of Fact signed by the trial judge are puzzling. For example, Findings 27 and

28 purportedly state that the funds used to purchase Appellant’s residence were not his separate

funds. Yet the trial court did not find that the residence was community property, and the actual

judgment declares Appellee to be a tenant in common, not an owner as community property.

Finding 27 also finds that neither the down payment nor the monthly payments were made with

funds from Appellant’s money market account. And Finding 24 finds (incorrectly) that the down

payment was made with Appellant’s business income, not separate funds. Yet the purchase of the

residence and the payment of the down payment occurred prior to marriage, and there is no evidence

that Appellee ever contributed any monies of hers to the purchase. All monies used to purchase the

residence were earned or acquired by Appellant prior to the marriage: by definition those funds must

have been his separate property.

       Since the Final Decree of Divorce signed by the trial judge adjudicates that the parties are

tenants in common in the residence, Appellant focuses on that issue.

                        THE COURT SHOULD DECLINE TO FOLLOW
                               HARRINGTON AND AARON

       It is public policy that any agreement to convey an interest in real property must be in writing.

TEX . BUS. & COMM . CODE § 26.01(b)(4). This means that when any performance of an agreement

requires a transfer of property in land, that agreement must be in writing. Mangum v. Turner, 255

                                                  4
S.W.3d 223 (Tex.App.–Waco 2009, pet. den.). Traditionally this rule has been referred to as the

“Statute of Frauds” and dates back to the earliest Texas jurisprudence. Even if the parties only agree

to a future conveyance of an interest in real property a written contract is nonetheless required.

TEX .PROP .CODE § 5.072(a).

       In the very limited instances in which Texas courts have allowed exceptions to the “Statute

of Frauds,” specific evidence and performance by the vendee is required. The most common

exception is that based on Hooks v. Bridgewater, 229 S.W. 1114, 1116 (Tex.1921), which allows

a party to enforce an oral agreement provided that he can show (1) payment of consideration, in

either money or services, (2) possession by the vendee, which must be exclusive, and (3) the making

by the vendee of valuable and permanent improvements to the property. This case does not show

evidence that meets the Hooks v. Bridgewater standard. There is no evidence that Appellee paid any

consideration for an interest in Appellant’s residence, that her possession was exclusive, or that she

made any valuable and permanent improvements to the property (and if any improvements were

made they were funded by Appellant’s income).

       Given the public policy of Texas against oral agreements to convey real property, is there

anything about the facts in this case that justified the trial court ignoring that public policy?

Appellant will show that given the facts in this case, and in all cases involving oral promises between

persons in intimate relationships, there is even less reason to ignore that public policy and enforce

such promises.

       It is the policy of the State of Texas that promises between spouses or those who reside

together without marriage should only be enforceable if they are in writing. TEX . BUS. & COMM .

CODE §26.01(b)(3). Texas recognizes that promises made in an intimate relationship may be less

                                                  5
reliable than arms-length transactions because of the nature of the relationship. The requirement

of written agreements avoids elevating “pillow talk” to enforceable agreements.

       Oral agreements between parties engaged in an intimate relationship are less likely to be

confirmed by any written evidence or documentation. In arms-length transactions it is common to

find communications between the parties, whether mailed correspondence as in the past or

communications sent by email, or telecopier today. Those communications are available to a court

as evidence that can either confirm or deny the existence of an oral agreement. When promises are

made in intimate relationships written documentation is much less likely to be found because any

communications are likely private.

       In cases to enforce oral promises made by those in intimate relationship it is much less likely

that any third party witnesses will be aware of the communications between the parties and available

to testify. In arm’s length transactions it is much more likely that some third party, whether a

realtor, real estate appraiser, loan officer at a potential lender, or property surveyor may have some

knowledge of any oral agreement between the parties. Those engaged in intimate relationships are

likely to discuss issues privately and without any witnesses.

       Another reason to refuse to enforce oral agreements between persons in intimate relationships

is that they almost always require reliance on testimony by an interested party. Testimony by an

interested witness always requires a different level of scrutiny than other types. It has been

recognized that in some instances the testimony of an interested witness may amount to no evidence

at all. The exception to the interested witness rule is that evidence by an interested witness may be

considered if it is not contradicted by any other witness or circumstances and is “direct and positive”

and free of any contradiction, inaccuracy , or other conflicting circumstances. Anchor Casualty Co.

                                                  6
v. Bowers, 393 S.W.2d 168 (Tex.1965); Lozano v. Lozano, 2009 Tex.App. LEXIS 9620, 2009 WL
4882816 (Tex.App.–Corpus Christi 2009, no writ hist.).       Such testimony may be quite difficult to

find in cases involving persons in intimate relationships.

       Finally, a reason to refuse to enforce oral agreements to convey real property between those

in intimate relationships is that the language used in those relationships may differ from that which

would be usual and customary in an arms-length transaction. For example, if two persons who do

not co-habit and do not have an intimate relationship make mention of “our land” or “our property”

the language used has some legal significance, i.e. that each of them owns an interest in the property.

On the other hand, if two people in an intimate relationship speak of “our home” that word has

several possible meanings other than joint ownership. It means where they live. Parties can have

a “home” in an apartment, in a rent house, in a mobile home in a mobile home park. Thus the words

“our house” or “our home” may not be as reliable an indicator of ownership as in other

circumstances.

       With the increased frequency of co-habitation by unmarried persons it is likely that more

cases of this nature will arise.    The adoption of a theory of “tenancy in common” by those

contemplating marriage threatens to become the exception that consumes the rule.

       Harrington and Aaron are not based on the TEXAS FAMILY CODE or any other statutory

provision adopted by the State of Texas. The theory of “tenancy in common” ignores the public

policy of the state against enforceability of oral agreements for conveyances of land, strong

presumption that ownership of property should be governed by its characterization as either

community or separate under the Texas Constitution and the TEXAS FAMILY CODE, and the policy

that agreements between spouses must be written. Those cases offer no reason why the courts

                                                  7
should uphold one rule prohibiting oral agreements in most cases but adopt a different rule for those

who cohabit.

       This court has recognized that rulings regarding ownership of real property of spouses must

not disregard the distinction between separate and community property. Verhage v. Verhage, 2006

Tex.App.LEXIS 5735, 2006 WL 1791565 (Tex.App.–Tyler 2006, no neg. writ hist.). To adopt a

theory that a spouse or potential spouse can acquire an interest in the separate property of the other

party by some oral agreement threatens to upend the accepted rules of characterization of property,

to simply allow a party to make an “end run” around accepted law.

       Other than the Harrington and Aaron, Texas courts have declined to adopt a theory that

persons in intimate relationships, or those who marry, may become tenants in common based on

alleged oral promises. This court should likewise decline to adopt the reasoning of Harrington and

Aaron and find that the trial judge abused his discretion in enforcing an alleged oral agreement

between the parties to convey an interest in Appellant’s residence to Appellee.

                    THE EVIDENCE IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT A
               A FINDING THAT THE PARTIES WERE TENANTS IN COMMON

       Even if the court declines to reject the reasoning of Harrington and Aaron the purported oral

agreement in question in this suit should not be enforced as there are substantial differences in the

facts between those cases and this one. The evidence in this case is insufficient to support the trial

court’s ruling. Evidence that is so slight that any inference would be in effect a guess is no evidence

at all. McKeehan v. McKeehan, 355 S.W.3d 282, 295 (Tex.App.-Austin 2011, pet. den’d).

                                                  8
Existence of Joint Tenancy Is a Question of Law:

       It is well established that a trial court hearing a divorce case has substantial discretion in

dividing a marital estate. But the trial court does not have the same discretion on a question of law.

For example, although the court has discretion to decide what evidence it gives weight to, whether

the agreement between the parties is governed by the Statute of Frauds is a question of law. Wilhoite

v. Sims, 401 S.W.3d 752 (Tex.App.–Dallas 2013, no writ hist.). The trial court has no discretion

at all to award to one spouse an interest in the separate property of the other. Cameron v. Cameron,

641 S.W.2d 210 (Tex.1982); Powell v. Powell, 822 S.W.2d 181 (Tex.App.–Houston [1st] 1991, no

writ hist.); In re Case, 28 S.W.3d 154 (Tex.App.–Texarkana 2000, no writ hist.); Verhage v.

Verhage, 2006 Tex.App.LEXIS 5735, 2006 WL 1791565 (Tex.App.–Tyler 2006, no neg. writ hist.).

Looking for a Residence Together is Not Evidence of Ownership:

       Appellee testified that she and Appellant looked for a residence together. In Harrington the

court noted the testimony of the wife that the parties referred to the residence as “our home.” This

leads to a simple question. How else would the parties who are co-habiting in a residence refer to

it? Joint occupancy is not the same as joint ownership. So how legally significant is the use of the

term “our house” or “our home?” At the time Appellant purchased his residence the parties had co-

habited for several years and intended to continue to do so. Appellant expected that Appellee would

reside with him in any residence he acquired, whether rented or owned. Doubtless he would have

consulted with Appellee before acquiring any residence in which he expected both of them to reside,

whether community or separate. It would be unusual indeed for one party to unilaterally make a

decision to choose a residence for both of them without consulting with the other party.

                                                 9
       Appellant’s testimony as to the circumstances under which the parties looked for a residence

in Nacogdoches is consistent with this narrative (RR Vol. 3, pp. 79-80).

       To illustrate this point, assume that the parents of one of the parties offered to purchase a

house for their son or daughter in expectation of marriage, as a gift to their child. The betrothed

couple then search for a house together in which they will begin their married life. They go to the

closing of the conveyance together. Does their joint search convert the separate property acquired

by gift into jointly owned property? The answer is clearly no.

       To further illustrate the point, assume one party owns a separate property business which he

or she either owned prior to marriage or acquired by gift or inheritance. The other party works there.

She or he refers to the business as “our business.” Does that language convert the ownership from

separate to community?

       That the parties jointly searched for a residence acceptable to both is not an indicia of

ownership, but a recognition that one member of a couple is likely to consider the wishes of the other

in selecting a place for them to reside. Therefore, that evidence is of little import.

Was There a Common Plan or Design in Acquiring the Residence?

       One factor mentioned in both Harrington and Aaron is evidence of a common plan or design

to divide or allocate the expenses of the purchase of the residence and their living expenses. In

Harrington the appellee testified that “she spent much of her separate property income on the house

and on living expenses of the children.”

       In Aaron the appellee testified that she paid the closing costs for the purchase of the

residence, that she paid the mortgage payments for the first six months after they acquired the

                                                  10
residence, and that when the appellant began to make the mortgage payments she paid for their food

and utilities, a contribution that was equal to the monthly mortgage payment.

       The contrast between those cases and this case could not be more clear. The evidence

showed that:

       !Appellant paid the entire down payment and all closing costs with his separate funds

received by him by wire transfer from his accounts;

       ! Appellant paid, with his separate funds, all the mortgage payments after the purchase and

fully paid the balance due on the note made to purchase the residence;

       ! Appellant paid all the living expenses of the parties, while Appellee paid none except with

his income (RR Vol. 3, p. 47).

       Appellee used any income she earned during their relationship for her own purposes and not

as part of a common plan: Appellant paid all their living expenses. (RR Vol. 3, p. 47) There is no

evidence that Appellee contributed, either directly or indirectly, to the purchase of the residence.

Prior Conduct:

       In Harrington the court noted that the parties had lived together “for about three years in

residences leased in both their names.” In this case, there is no such indication of a prior joint

residence. In fact, when asked whose residence the parties lived in prior to their marriage Appellee

insisted it was her residence (RR Vol. 2, p. 82).

Appellant Made a Substantial Down Payment with Separate Funds:

       In Aaron the court noted that the wife was not able to “contribute” as much toward the down

payment as the husband, clearly implying that there was a joint effort to accumulate funds in order

to purchase the residence. In this case it is clear that all the funds used to purchase the residence

                                                 11
were acquired or earned before the parties even knew each other, as a result of Appellant’s long term

employment with Texaco.

       The size of the initial payment made by Appellant is significant evidence of his intent to

purchase the home as his own (Ex. R-17; also see p. 20 of Exhibit P-4 showing instructions to wire

transfer the funds and Ex. R-14 which shows the amount required for the closing). If Appellant’s

intent was to acquire a jointly owned residence why commit such a large portion of his separate

funds to the down payment instead of paying for the residence during the marriage?

Appellant Paid Off the Residence Quickly:

       If one assumes that the parties intended their relationship to last and it was agreed, as

Appellee argues, to jointly own the residence, why would Appellant agree to such a short note term

and such large monthly payments? He paid off the residence in less than two years after he

purchased it with separate funds he had accumulated prior to the relationship of the parties (Ex. R-

19). If the parties’ intent was to jointly own the residence why not utilize a more common 15 to 25

year mortgage to be repaid by the earnings of the parties during their marriage?

       The short payment schedule for payment of the mortgage on the residence is some evidence

of Appellant’s intent to primarily rely upon his separate property funds to pay for the residence

instead of community income he earned during their marriage. This shows an intent to treat the

residence as his alone. Appellant provided the court with an itemized statement tracing all the funds

used to make the monthly house payments to their source (Ex. R-19). Likewise, Respondent traced

all the income earned during the marriage and how it was disposed of, what funds he had on hand

at the time of the marriage, and showed that none of his post-marriage income was sent to the UK

                                                12
and could have been the source of the funds used to make the payments on the residence (Ex. R19a-25).

The Subsequent Conduct of the Parties is Evidence of Intent:

       Appellee testified that Appellant told her that the residence would be theirs and that he would

convey record title to her. Yet in 2008 Appellant purchased an adjoining lot in his name only (Ex.

R-26, R-27, R-29, and R-33). Appellee was aware of this purchase.

       If Appellee had an agreement that the residence would be conveyed to her and jointly owned,

why did she not object to Appellant also acquiring title to the second tract in his name alone after

their marriage? At the time of the second purchase she was aware that he had never conveyed any

ownership interest in the residence to her although she says he had promised to do so. Her silence

is evidence that contradicts her claim.

       Appellee testified that “[i]t was joint ownership of everything, because we built the business

together from 2003 forward.” (RR Vol. 2, p. 109). In 2006, the same year as when Appellant

purchased the residence, he created an LLC named Global Energy Consulting (RR Vol. 2, 84-85)

which showed Appellant as the only owner. So there again, even though she claimed they were

“joint owners” Appellee knew she was not shown as an owner of the LLC.

       For the reasons outlined above, the evidence is simply insufficient as a matter of law to

support a finding that the parties agreed to purchase Appellant’s residence and own it jointly, and

the trial court abused its discretion in awarding a one-half interest in that residence to Appellee.

                                                 13
                  THE TRIAL COURT HAD NO DISCRETION TO DIVEST
               APPELLANT OF ANY INTEREST IN HIS SEPARATE PROPERTY

        The Texas Supreme Court directly addressed an award to one spouse of an interest in the

separate property of the other in Cameron v. Cameron, 641 S.W.2d 210 (Tex.1982). The court

explained the distinction between community and separate property this way:

                Community property owes its existence to the legal fact of marriage,
                and when the parties to that compact determine their relationship
                should end, property acquired during the marriage is and should be
                divided among them in a just and right manner. By way of contrast
                separate property, in the community property setting, owes its
                existence to wholly extramarital factors, things unrelated to the
                marriage. In relation to that property, the parties are, in essence,
                strangers; they are separate. Any property that arises independently
                of marriage as a means of “equitably” balancing the spouse’s
                positions on divorce cannot be justified.

        An award of an interest in Appellant’s separate property residence to Appellee is actually an

attempt to characterize his separate property as some other form of property so that the trial court can

“equitably balance” the positions of the parties, exactly what the Texas Supreme Court said is not

permissible.

        As this court said, in Verhage v. Verhage, 2006 Tex.App. LEXIS 5735, 2006 WL 1791565

(Tex.App.–Tyler 2006, no neg. writ hist.).

                       Any judicial divestiture of separate property would essentially
                disregard the constitutionally mandated distinction between the
                separate and community property of spouses. . . . . Moreover,
                allowing a trial court to divest separate property from one spouse and
                award it to the other spouse as part of the latter’s separate estate
                would impermissibly enlarge the exclusive constitutional definition
                of separate property.

        If the trial court mis-characterized Appellant’s separate property as either community

property of the parties or as the separate property of his spouse, that error is reversible error, because

                                                   14
the effect would be to divest the spouse of his separate property. Tex.Const., art. 16, § 15;

Eggemeyer v. Eggemeyer, 554 S.W.2d 137, 140 (Tex.1977); Cameron v. Cameron.

       This court should find that the trial court abused its discretion in divesting Appellant of his

separate property and awarding Appellee an interest in it.     The court should reverse and render

judgment that Appellant’s residence remains his sole and separate property, not subject to sale by

the order of the trial court, and that Appellee has no ownership interest therein.

                                    POINT OF ERROR NO. 4:

     THE TRIAL COURT ABUSED ITS DISCRETION IN FAILING TO FIND THAT THE
RESIDENCE WAS NOT PURCHASED WITH APPELLANT’S SEPARATE PROPERTY FUNDS
WHEN THE EVIDENCE CONCLUSIVELY SHOWED A PURCHASE WITH HIS SEPARATE
FUNDS.

       As Appellant noted above, some confusion exists as to the effect of the trial court’s finding

of fact that his separate property funds were neither used to pay the down payment on the residence

nor the mortgage note payments, when the court then did not find the property to be community

property. The purchase was made prior to the marriage of the parties with Appellant’s funds, so

how could the funds used be anything other than separate property? Appellant is not aware of any

authority that a spouse has a claim to income earned by the other spouse prior to marriage.

       Appellant is also confused by the findings by the trial court because, if in fact community

funds were used to improve or pay down debt against the residence the remedy or relief would be

a right of contribution, not a transfer of ownership. Characterization of property is determined at

the property’s inception of title. Chavez v. Chavez, 269 S.W.3d 763, 767 (Tex.App.–Dallas 2008,

no pet.); Zagorski v. Zagorski, 116 S.W.3d 309, 317 (Tex.App.–Houston [14th] 2003, pet.den.)

                                                 15
        Confusion also arises from the court’s finding because the actual evidence is at such odds

with Findings of Fact 24, 25, 27, and 28. Appellant reviews the evidence regarding the purchase

of the residence to explain the events and to make clear that the findings of fact by the trial court do

not add up to the result.

        Appellant’s residence was purchased on August 25, 2006 (Ex. R-11). Appellant was required

to pay at the closing $83,934.95 (Ex. R-11, R-17). Appellant wire-transferred his funds for the down

payment three days prior, on August 22, 2006, in the amount of $85,000 (Ex. R-18). The parties

were not married until January 31, 2007.

        Appellant showed the source of each payment made. He showed that the funds used for

payments were sent to him by wire transfer from the United Kingdom and he traced each payment

made to those funds. In support of his claim that his separate funds were used to make the payments

on the residence he offered the testimony of an officer of his bank that he sent no monies abroad to

the UK except for some specific funds used for a specific purpose (RR Vol. 3, p. 9-12).            The

purpose of that testimony was to establish that no funds had been transferred by Appellant to the UK

after the marriage of the parties; therefore, any funds that came into the US to Appellant must be his

separate funds because they had to be in the UK prior to the marriage of the parties.

        Appellee’s testimony, that the payments made on the residence were actually funded by

community income, is so weak as to be laughable. She claimed the source of the down payment was

income earned by Appellant as a payment for his services through his business and those funds,

coupled with a little of this and a little of that, somehow added up to the amount used to fund the

purchase of the residence. Appellee failed to show how the parties could pay their living expenses

with Appellant’s income, pay income taxes on it, and yet have 100% of it available as a down

                                                  16
payment on the residence. And no explanation was given as to how Appellant’s income prior to

marriage became community funds.

       If the trial court relied on Appellant’s testimony to support her claim that she should be an

owner of Appellant’s house it clearly abused its discretion. The trial court’s findings of fact, if it

even relied upon them, are at such odds with the credible evidence that it is raises the question if the

trial judge even read them.     A trial court abuses its discretion if it relied on facts that are so

unreliable or weak to form a sufficient basis for a rational decision. Griffin v. Birkman, p. 197. A

trial court that makes a decision which is not based on sufficient facts to make a decision either way

abuses its discretion. Landon v. Jean-Paul Budinger, Inc., p.938.

                                     POINT OF ERROR NO. 5:

    THE TRIAL COURT ABUSED ITS DISCRETION WHEN IT DISREGARDED
UNCONTRADICTED EVIDENCE THAT APPELLEE COMMITTED FRAUD ON THE
COMMUNITY ESTATE.

       Appellant offered evidence that during his marriage to Appellee she had used community

funds to improve the residences of both her mother and her aunt (Ex. R-37; R-38a-38i) as well as

payment of other expenses of her family members. He corroborated that testimony with checks and

other records that showed the expenditures (Ex. R- 38a-38i). Appellant testified that these

expenditures were made without his knowledge and consent, and only discovered by him at a later

date (RR Vol. 3, p. 107-111; Ex. R-37; Ex. R-38A-38H; Ex. R-39-39E). Appellee never denied

making those expenditures and never claimed that Appellant was either aware of or had consented

to her expenditures.

       The use of community funds by a spouse to improve the property of a relative, without the

knowledge and consent of the other spouse, is what has been termed “fraud on the community.”

                                                  17
Schlueter v. Schlueter, 975 S.W.2d 584 (Tex.1998). Fraud on the community occurs when one

spouse breaches his fiduciary duty to the other by disposing of community property without the

consent of the other. Puntarelli v. Peterson, 405 S.W.3d 131, 137-138 (Tex.App.–Houston [1st] no

pet.). Once a spouse produces evidence of such a transfer the burden shifts to the other spouse to

rebut the presumption of constructive fraud.            Jackson v. Smith, 703 S.W.2d 791, 795-796

(Tex.App.–Dallas 1985, no writ). Once Appellant produced evidence of use of community funds

for the use and benefit of Appellee’s relatives the burden shifted to her to rebut the presumption that

her expenditures were fraudulent.

        Appellee was never required by the trial court to provide any explanation for her use of

community funds to enhance the value of her relative’s residences. In fact, the court simply ignored

this evidence. And Appellee never offered any evidence to rebut the presumption of fraud.

        Appellant concedes that the trial court had discretion to hear this evidence and to consider

it in making a fair and equitable division of the estates of the parties. But can the trial court simply

ignore it? Appellant also acknowledges that if the amount involved is minimal in relation to the

overall estate being divided by the court that the court may be justified in ignoring it. But in this case

the amount involved was equal to or greater than the value of the community property the court was

dividing.

        A trial court has discretion to base its decision on conflicting evidence. Davis v. Huey, 571
S.W.2d 859, 862 (Tex.1978). And a trial court has discretion to decide an issue if there is some

evidence of a “substantive and probative character” to support a decision. Butnaru v. Ford Motor

Company, 84 S.W.3d 198, 211 (Tex.2002). But if there is no evidence that the use of funds by a

spouse was for the benefit of the community estate and made with the consent of the spouse it is an

                                                   18
abuse of discretion for a trial court to ignore that evidence, especially when the amount involved is

as great at the community estate being divided.

         Appellant requests that the trial court remand the division of the community estate of the

parties with directions to the trial court to consider the fraud on the community estate committed by

Appellee in its division of the community estate.

                                          POINT OF ERROR NO. 6:

     THE TRIAL COURT ABUSED ITS DISCRETION BY DISREGARDING EVIDENCE OF
SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS RECEIVED BY APPELLEE DURING THE MARRIAGE.

         The testimony at trial showed that Appellant had by the time she met Appellant defaulted in

repayment of her student loans1. Appellant provided evidence of payments of her student loans with

his income of $63,000 (Ex. R-41). While Appellee questioned the amount paid, she did not question

that Appellant had in fact paid her pre-existing student loan debt (RR Vol. 3, p. 178). The trial judge

makes no mention of the payment of Appellee’s student loan debt in his findings or fact and there

is no indication that these payments were even considered. While a trial judge has discretion to

weigh evidence in making a just and right division of the parties to a divorce action, he has no

discretion to simply ignore evidence. While the court has discretion to ignore transactions involving

minimal amounts of money or amounts that are small in relation to the total estate of the parties, the

amounts that Appellant paid toward Appellee’s student loan debt is approximately two times the

value of the community estate the court divided. To ignore such evidence and facts is an abuse of

discretion.

         1
          Appellee’s inability to pay her pre-existing student loan debt is puzzling in view of her testimony of her
exceptional ability and the lucrative career she gave up to be married to Appellant.

                                                          19
                                      POINT OF ERROR NO. 7:

      THE TRIAL COURT ABUSED ITS DISCRETION IN FINDING APPELLANT AT FAULT
IN THE BREAKUP OF THE MARRIAGE BY CONSIDERING EVIDENCE THAT WAS NOT
RELEVANT IN TIME AND NOT SUPPORTED BY THE EVIDENCE

        The trial court found that Appellant was at “fault” in the breakup of the marriage (FF 32). If

that finding had no effect on the rulings of the trial court Appellant would not address it; however,

since it appears that this finding was the foundation for the trial court’s decision to award Appellee

an interest in Appellant’s residence, Appellant must address it.

        Appellant and Appellee had at times a rocky relationship, without any doubt. However,

Appellee’s testimony is characterized by gross exaggerations and dramatization of events that the

actual testimony frequently does not support.

        Appellee alleged that several events occurred supporting her claim that Appellant’s conduct

was the reason for the dissolution of the marriage of the parties. In her typical fashion, those events

are documented at great length (“127 counts of fraud”). However, an examination of the actual

evidence shows that she often testified more about her “conclusions” or “feeling” than about the

actual facts of the event. An example is her testimony that they had a dispute over money while

driving in a car one day, which she characterized as “financial terrorism.” (RR Vol. 1, p. 47).

Appellant raises this issue because that the evidence in the record does not actually support the

findings of the trial court on several of these points, and the trial court has no discretion to ignore the

actual evidence.

Appellant “Assaulted” Appellee On Eight Occasions:

        Finding of Fact No. 6 by the trial court finds that Appellant assaulted Appellee on eight

different occasions.   There are two major problems with this finding.

                                                   20
       First, there is a complete lack of corroboration of any of these claims. There is no evidence

that Appellee ever reported to any law enforcement officer that she had been assaulted. There is no

evidence that she ever sought medical treatment. There is no photographic evidence that she was

assaulted.   No witness testified as to seeing any assault or sign of assault.     And it is almost a

certainty that anyone as verbose as Appellee would have told someone had she been assaulted; yet

no family member, friend, or neighbor was called to confirm that Appellee had made a

contemporaneous report of an assault.

       Second, there is a marked disparity between the actual testimony and what Appellee referred

to as an “assault.” The first instance of “assault” referred to by Appellee relates to events while the

parties were traveling through Malaysia and Thailand (RR Vol. 1, p. 47). Appellee says that “there

was a violent explosive that he has lunging and I went flying.” Yet there is no actual evidence that

Appellant ever even touched Appellee.

       The next instance which Appellee testified about concerned an event at home (RR Vol.1, p.

50). Appellee said that they had an argument. Even though she and her brother were having an

argument about their mother’s care and they were “crosswise” by the time of trial it was Appellant

who was solely responsible for their dispute. She went upstairs and he followed her, he was

“screaming” and “she slid down the wall.” Nowhere is there any evidence that Appellant ever

touched Appellee, much less assaulted her.

       In the next event that Appellee related, a trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas, an argument between

the parties occurred (RR Vol. 1, p. 54). Appellee says there was no reason for Appellant to be upset

about anything. Appellant testified that he became upset when Appellee said to her friends that she

wished she was not with him, which humiliated him in front of her friends (RR Vol. 3, pp. 139-140).

                                                 21
Appellant was upset but there is no evidence that he touched anyone, much less assaulted Appellee.

He went to bed, got up early the next morning, and drove home.

       Next Appellee testified about an incident in which she claimed Appellant became angry over

a power cord (RR Vol. 1, p. 56). She said he “got into a Rugby stance” and she was “fearful.”

However, there is no evidence that Appellant ever touched her.

       According to Appellee there was another instance at the residence in which Appellant flew

into a “rage” (RR Vol. 1, p. 60). She further said “he yelled at me and came at me. He didn’t hit me,

but he came close. I raised my fist and I backed up.” She says that Appellant then ran around the

house destroying personal property, one of many occasions on which she claimed he destroyed

personal property. If in fact Appellant had destroyed the personal property of the parties as many

times as Appellee claimed in her testimony there would have been no property for the court to divide.

       The most telling incident is one that Appellee related at her aunt’s home in Houston (RR Vol.

1, p. 69.). The parties had gone to the aunt’s home to make repairs. Appellee yelled at Appellant.

She said that Appellant grabbed her, threw her up against the wall, and choked her. Appellant’s

testimony was that he did not assault her but was trying to get his car keys which she refused to give

to him so he could return home (RR Vol. 3, p. 143). Appellee herself admitted that they were in a

tussle over the car keys, her refusing to give them to him. What is most interesting about these

events is that when Appellant returned to his home in Nacogdoches he found Appellee’s father parked

at the house removing his personal property. (RR Vol. 3, pp. 51-53).

       Appellee admitted that she told her father to go the residence and gather up property from the

house (RR Vol. 2, p. 104-105).     The argument over the car keys was not because Appellant was

being unreasonable but because Appellee wanted to detain him as long as possible in Houston while

                                                 22
her father cleaned out the house (RR Vol. 3, p. 143). It is also instructional that when law

enforcement was called it was not for the purpose of charging Appellant with a crime but rather to

ascertain if he was safely driving to his residence in Nacogdoches (RR Vol. 1, p. 69-71). And,

Appellant, the man who had assaulted her, called her when he reached home to tell her he had arrived

safely (RR Vol. 1, p. 71).

       Of the eight instances of “assault” there is actual testimony of any touching by Appellant of

Appellee on only one occasion, at Appellee’s aunt’s home, and the testimony there is conflicting and

supports the conclusion that a disagreement arose when Appellee attempted to detain Appellant in

Houston for a sufficient period to allow her father to clean out his residence of his personal property.

When the events of that day are understood in context it is more likely that no assault actually

occurred but instead a “tussle” over the car keys happened.

       On another occasion Appellee testified that “[h]e assaulted me.” (RR Vol. 1, p. 121). She says

not that he hit her, or knocked her down, but instead “I broke down. I completely just fell out to the

point of not being able to physically get up.” Again, while Appellee characterizes as an “assault”

lacks any evidence of any touching by Appellant.

Appellant Held Appellee Captive Abroad:

       Appellee testified that Appellant had essentially held her captive for a period of five months

on a trip to Malaysia and Thailand (RR Vol. 1, p. 47). Again, there is no evidence that Appellee

reported that event to any authorities nor made any attempt to “escape.” There was no contact made

reporting her status to local United States Diplomatic authorities. There is no evidence of how

Appellant could have imprisoned Appellee in a hotel room and kept her there while he worked at the

offices of the company for which he was contracted to provide consulting services. When Appellee

                                                  23
returned to the United States she sought no protection, from law enforcement or anyone else. She

returned to her residence with Appellant, the man who she claimed held her captive abroad for five

months.

Evidence of Conduct Before or After Marriage Not Relevant As Fault in Marriage:

       The evidence showed that prior to the marriage of the parties Appellant altered or modified

some documents relating to his divorce from his previous spouse in the United Kingdom and showed

those to Appellee. Appellant admitted to such conduct. (RR Vol. 3, p. 24-27). He explained at trial

that in the UK there are different ways of seeking a divorce, the shorter procedures requiring proof

of either cruelty or adultery, and that he chose the more lengthy option of separation in consideration

of his family.

       Appellee testified that she discovered Appellant’s forgery of divorce documents in September

of 2012 after the parties had separated and after he had left the country to return to the UK for a

family visit. Appellant objected to all this evidence on the basis of relevance. Evidence of conduct

prior to the marriage is not relevant to the issue of fault in the breakup of the marriage, particularly

when it is not discovered until the parties have already separated and filed for divorce.

       Appellee had already decided to divorce Appellant the previous December. She said she

remained with him only to care for him, and intended to stay no longer than one year.

       She filed a petition for divorce herself on September 21, 2012. She contended that she was

not bound by any agreement with Appellant to accept $20,000 and items of personal property because

he had “breached” their agreement. The way he had done so? By not executing all the documents

in full satisfaction of her claim to the community assets needed to finalize the divorce by the time he

left to travel to the UK in July of 2012.

                                                  24
        The evidence conclusively showed that Appellant’s action regarding his divorce papers

occurred prior to the marriage and that Appellee did not discover his action until months after the

parties had separated and filed for divorce. Therefore, that conduct could not have been a material

factor causing the divorce.

        Likewise, Appellant testified that learning that Appellant had visited pornographic web sites

while he was in the UK was relevant to the issue of “fault” in the marriage. Again, this conduct

occurred after the parties agreed to divorce, the parties had already separated, and Appellant left for

the UK.

        Appellant objected to all this testimony when offered on the grounds of relevance, i.e., that

what occurred before the marriage and after the marriage over could not be relevant to the issue of

fault in the breakup or dissolution of that marriage. Evidence must be both relevant and material.

Bay Area Healthcare Group, Ltd. v. McShane, 239 S.W.3d 231 (Tex.2007).

          Appellant concedes that a trial court has discretion to hear and weigh the evidence and reach

conclusions based on it, that any evidentiary rulings by the trial court are committed to its discretion,

and that reversal is justified only when the error probably caused the rendition of an improper

judgment. Bay Area Healthcare Group, Ltd. v. McShane, p. 234). But relevance has limits. Under

Rule 401, TEXAS RULES OF EVIDENCE , the court is to determine the purpose of offering the evidence

and whether there exists some logical or direct connection between the evidence offered and what the

offering party seeks to prove. What is the scope of admissible evidence to prove fault in the breakup

of the marriage?

        First, the event must have happened during the marriage. Evidence of some act by Appellant

before the parties married cannot, by definition, constitute fault during the marriage.

                                                  25
        Second, the event must have happened prior to the decision of the parties to “break up.” Once

the decision to terminate the marriage has been made, no act afterwards can be considered a cause of

the decision to divorce.

        The trial court found “fault” by Appellee and awarded both an interest in his separate property

and a disproportionate part of the community property to Appellee; therefore, it cannot be said that

this evidence was harmless or that it was not a cause of the trial court’s division of the marital estate.

Consideration of evidence which is not legally relevant is a breach of discretion.

                                      POINT OF ERROR NO. 8:

     THE TRIAL COURT ABUSED ITS DISCRETION WHEN IT ORDERED APPELLANT
TO PAY SPOUSAL SUPPORT TO APPELLEE ALTHOUGH HE HAD NO ABILITY TO PAY

        A trial court has substantial, but not unlimited, discretion to order one party in a divorce

proceeding to pay spousal support to the other. In this case the order of the court for payment of

temporary spousal support was an abuse of discretion. The ability to pay support was not based on

any actual evidence of ability, but upon mere suspicion or surmise.

        At the time the trial court ordered Appellant to pay $2,000 monthly in temporary support

Appellant was over 60 years of age and had suffered four mini-strokes (including one shortly before

the hearing on temporary orders), and epileptic seizures, and two heart attacks. His physical condition

prevented him from working and his last income was over two years before in 2010. While at one

time his services as an accountant in the oil and gas industry were in demand, companies in that

industry had completed their adoption of the accounting system he had helped develop so there was

less demand for his services (RR Vol. 4, p. 40). In fact, he had experienced a stroke about a week

before he returned for the temporary orders hearing (RR Vol. 3, p.138).

                                                   26
       Appellant’s only source of income was his retirement benefits in the amount of $1,856

per month. That amount is less than he was ordered to pay Appellee as temporary support. His living

expenses were $1,574. (RR Vol. 3, p. 72-73; Ex. R-9, R-10, R5-8).

       Appellee herself, perhaps without meaning to do so, confirmed the decline in Appellant’s

health and his inability to support even himself. In her testimony about the events that occurred at

her aunt’s house in Houston she mentioned that she did not want Appellant on a ladder and that she

thought it unsafe for him to drive himself home to Nacogdoches (RR Vol. 1, p. 70). She also

acknowledged not long before she filed her petition for divorce that rather than expect Appellant to

take care of her, she expected that his needs required her to take care of him (RR, Vol. 2, p. 120-121).

In the course of her testimony about their conversation at the time she emphasized that “I went all

over the State of Texas for months running him to cardiologists and neurologists and post stroke

specialists, biochemical specialists, speech therapists.” Yet this is the person she contends shall be

supporting her.

       Appellee herself is both younger and in substantially better health than Appellant. And if her

testimony is to be believed she is capable of making literally hundreds of thousands of dollars from

her occupation.

       The only basis on which the trial court could have found an ability by Appellant to pay

temporary spousal support is if it was believed that Appellant owned or controlled substantial funds

in the United Kingdom. Appellee testified that he did, but her testimony was not based on any actual

knowledge, but only on suspicion or surmise. If there was evidence that Appellant had funds in the

UK available to him and there was a dispute over whether they were available for payment of support

the trial court had discretion to decide who to believe. But when the only evidence is that “he has

                                                  27
money in the UK” without identifying those funds, that testimony amounts to nothing more than

surmise or suspicion. Evidence of that nature is no evidence at all.   McKeehan v McKeehan,, 365
S.W.3d 282, 295 (Tex.App.–Austin 2011, pet. den’d). The only actual evidence of Appellant’s

ownership of any assets in the UK was his divorce decree from his previous spouse, which awarded

all his assets in the UK to her. Even if the trial court simply concludes “I do not believe Appellant

when he says he has no money in the UK” that does not prove that he does have money. It does no

more than raise a suspicion. A suspicion is no evidence at all.

       The only asset in the US which could possibly serve as collateral for a loan by Appellant to

pay spousal support was his residence, but Appellee had filed a lis pendens as to that property which

precluded any access to funds (RR Vol. 3, p.135; Ex. R-54, R-55). Thus he showed he had no

capacity to borrow funds for that purpose.

       Thus, the trial court abused its discretion in ordering Appellant to pay temporary spousal

support to Appellee in an amount in excess of his monthly income and without reliable evidence that

he had any other source of income or property to pay that support.

                                    POINT OF ERROR NO. 9:

     THE TRIAL COURT ABUSED ITS DISCRETION IN AWARDING                                             A
DISPROPORTIONATE PART OF THE TRACT ADJOINING THE RESIDENCE

       The trial court awarded a disproportionate part of the lot adjoining Appellant’s residence to

the parties, 60% to Appellee and 40% to Appellant. Under the circumstances that disproportionate

award is an abuse of discretion.

       The adjoining lot was purchased for $54,000. Appellant paid at closing $10,681.07 in

addition to $500 he had already deposited as earnest money (Ex. R-30). After he became unable to

                                                 28
work and his business income ended, he fell behind in making payments, risking foreclosure. The

balance due to avoid foreclosure was $15, 229.64 (Ex. R-29, R-30). Appellant secured a loan from

his sister and brother-in-law to pay off the lot, avoid foreclosure, and retain it (Ex. R-31).

       Thus the trial court has awarded a disproportionate part of the lot to Appellee despite the fact

that the purchase was only possible by the use of Appellant’s separate property at the time of purchase

and his borrowing money to pay it off and avoid foreclosure. It was an abuse of discretion for the

trial court to award to Appellee a greater interest in property she would never have had except for

Appellant’s expenditure of his separate funds and which she would have lost except for Appellant’s

action in borrowing money to preserve it.

                           CONCLUSION AND PRAYER FOR RELIEF

       Appellant, Frederick Graham requests that the court reverse the Final Decree of Divorce

signed by the presiding judge of the Nacogdoches County Court at Law on September 3, 2014.

       Appellant further requests that the court render judgment that Appellee has no ownership

interest in his residence located at 3704 Raguet Street in the City of Nacogdoches, Texas.

       Appellant further requests that the court remand the other issues regarding the division of the

community property and spousal support of the parties to the Nacogdoches County Court at Law with

instructions to (a) consider the evidence with regard to expenditures made by Appellee with

community funds, (b) financial benefits received by Appellee during the marriage, including but not

limited to payment of Appellee’s student loan debt, (c) the disproportionate division of the tract or

parcel of land adjoining Appellant’s residence, and (d) the award to Appellee of temporary spousal

support by order of that court on March 31, 2014.

                                                  29
       Appellant further requests that he be awarded all costs of this appeal, that all costs be taxed

against Appellee, and that he have such other relief as he may show himself entitled to receive.

                                                       Respectfully submitted,
