Comment on Premarital and Marital Property Agreements by Linda

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 15:43:07 +0000

I signed a premarital agreement less than 24 hours before the wedding. It basically said what was his was his and what was mine was mine. He is wealthy and i am not. I had quit my job two weeks earlier on the promise that he would put me in his will to provide for me. That has not happened and looks like it will not happen. Now i do not evenhave a job to go to if something happens. I do not know what to do. We married in February. I thought he would put this all in writing to provide for me because I did waht was asked of me and quit my job. I left behind a great pension and a 403B.

Dear Linda:

Your premarital agreement is probably enfoceable. The Houston divorce courts routinely uphold premartial agreements. That is why it is so important to put the time and effort into doing a premartial agreement right — because you are probably going to have to live with the agreement — no matter how unfair it may seem.

Good luck,

Comment on Divorce in Houston by Susie

My husband and I lived in Houston for 25 years. We built up a pretty good business and have a nice house. I finally decided that I was tired of Houston, tired of working, and tired of my husband. I moved out of our house in Houston and moved back to the small town that I grew up in Missouri.

Can I file a divorce in Missiouri, or must I file a divorce in Houston, Texas? Also I want to make certain that I get compensated for my house and interest in our business.

Thanks,
Susie in Missouri

Dear Susie:

I think that you can file in Texas, as long as Texas was your last place of marital residence and your spouse still lives in Texas.
