I was in a bad motorcycle accident. I will getting a sizeable settlement from it. Can the settlement meant to cover my future needs be divided as community property?
Wow. Sorry this happened to you. I hope you'll be able to manage on your own. I can't answer your question, but thought I'd send some positive energy your way. Good luck.
Texas Family Code § 3.001. SEPARATE PROPERTY. 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.
It's your separate property and not subject to division except for any amount awarded for lost wages .
