If the husband owned the house prior to your marriage it would be considered separate property. However, you would be entitled to contributions.

I am jobless and cannot afford lawyer, need a lawyer to handle my case. Got three kids. I live in Jarrell
You don't necessarily need a lawyer to file a divorce.
If it's uncontested that means the parties have literally agreed on *EVERYTHING*.
I believe there are some resources you can find online, or perhaps at a legal clinic.
If it truly is an uncontested divorce... Read more »
We have a home she will not contest the sale can we do a divorce kit and do our selves?
Every divorce is unique, just like how every couple is unique.
Divorce kits can work and sometimes they "work" until they don't. Then you have costly mistakes to correct.
Personally, I would always recommend consulting with an attorney.
Cheap divorces don't always turn out cheap.
Divorces can get nasty, however, there is no way to drag out a divorce indefinitely. At a certain point the court will run out of patience to give continuances and you can drive that divorce.
In the end dragging out a divorce is costly for both parties and usually a lose-lose.... Read more »

We purchased a home from a wholesaler - the sellers disclosure stated no issues with the foundation, while remodeling the house we found issues with the foundation & was wondering what remedy there may be for resolution.
All real estate sales are made with a written agreement. That agreement will likely have language in it that covers or does not cover any defects in the foundation. The fact that it was a "wholesale" purchase gives me pause as it may have been excluded from any warranty.

He gave me a speeding ticket and I tried to explain to him the car that ran away from him was trying to hit me. He left as soon as the cop turned around. I slowed and stopped for the officer and tried to explain the situation
Sounds like you have a defense to the speeding ticket. Plead "not guilty" and go to trial to present your evidence, be sure to bring independent witnesses or it will be you against the officer. Or you could see if you can go to traffic school. If the care did not hit you and there is... Read more »
