What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? I live in Texas, a community property state.
The question is this. I married 23 months ago. Now getting ready to file for divorce, my wife says everything is her's, I have nothing. Not quite true, but.
A few months after the marriage we bought a house. The down payment, a very large one, came from money I had saved, prior to the marriage. After the sale of the house, whatever equity in the house will be split 50/50, but since most of that equity will be from the large downpayment, my money, can I get that money back, and split the rest of the equity equally?
Thanks.
