First step move out of Texas or any of the other community-property states like New Mexico or Louisiana. Get residency on the sligh in the nearest man friendly state, get a trailer or something. Then say you're moving out due to differeneces etc. Then apply for divorce because she certainly will have her legal team going for all your property and since she will stil think you are a Texas resident will assume shes getting everything, which would be true in Texas but it wont be in Nearby Oklahoma/Arkansas.

Your ex would have to buy you out of the equity in your house. And make sure he has to refinance so your name is off of it, in case he stops making payments and ruins your credit. Also, so you don’t have that debt to qualify for your own home in the future.

How about any real estate inheritance and then improvements were made to that inheritance with funds from both caples is that become part of own property by both?

Great question, Mary! That can be a complex situation and the answer is likely not black and white. For informational purposes only, inheritances are generally separate property, but as you note, if the other spouse contributes to it, they may have a claim in divorce. That is a perfect example of something an experienced lawyer would have to look at the documentation and history of the property to offer legal advice to a person in that situation.
