She should be. If she wanted a divorce because of the violence, then she could go to court about this, if then proof is found about the violence, then she will be entitled to half of the money. Normally if they did divorce she would get half of the money but if they signed a contract before marrying of if they divorce then their own possessions, money etc do no be shared, then she would have to go court. Answer In community property states, you are entitled to at least half. However, in some states (Texas!) it is difficult to get what you deserve, particularly if he has the money for a superb lawyer. Domestic violence, documented by pictures and court records, may help, but still you have to calculate the cost of your time and any money you have.
