Generally, anything that a married couple accumulates during the marriage is considered community property, that is, both spouses own an undivided share of the whole. Community property courts start with a strong presumption that anything acquired during marriage is a community item, the spouse claiming a particular item is not community property has the burden of proving otherwise. There are some defined areas that do not fall under community property: separate property acquired before marriage or during marriage using separate property funds, items acquired as a gift, in a will, or as inheritance, and the rents and profits received from separate property.
Can a married couple have a home in only one spouse name in Texas?
Yes is the strict answer, but in a divorce the gloves come off and the strict terms of the Texas Family Code come into play, even if some property is in one name. The law states: "Each spouse has the sole management, control, and disposition of that spouse's separate property. Except as otherwise stated in the Texas Family Code, a spouse's separate property consists of: (1) the property owned or claimed by the spouse before marriage; (2) the property acquired by the spouse during marriage by gift, devise, or descent; and (3) the recovery for personal injuries sustained by the spouse during marriage, except any recovery for loss of earning capacity during marriage. Community property consists of the property, other than separate property, acquired by either spouse during marriage. Property possessed by either spouse during or on dissolution of marriage is presumed to be community property. The degree of proof necessary to establish that property is separate property is clear and convincing evidence." -From Sections 3.001 through 3.101 of the Texas Family Code.
