What man on his right mind would obey orders to sleep on the couch or leave?

Correction to your knowledge of Texas law. If one of the spouses abandons home with no intention of returning, they lose.

I stand corrected. I am sure you have much more knowledge of this than I do. I was just looking it up.

Yep. Wife left and took off to FL with everything she owned. That's abandoning the home. She gets nothing out of me. Unfortunately, I can't get a divorce out of her.

First wife pulled the same stunt in VA and it was the same. While I was busy raising kids and taking care of all the domestic crap she was "working late". At the Club. When she finally got busted, she just left the house. Then tried to take everything. The lawyer kinda changed her mind real quick. She had to take what I gave her.

You have detailed this before. Makes me unhappy, since you obviously deserved better.

Thanks but I wasn't trying to make me the issue. Just the legal experience .

It isn't as bad as it used to be. When my parents got divorced in Texas, my dad got his clock cleaned and he didn't do anything to earn it. They've changed the law a tad since 1966. When my daughter went through her divorce, the idiot she was married to was getting every benefit of the doubt when he didn't deserve any. Unless you consider moving in with the girl that lived upstairs while my daughter was at her Mom's okay.
