"I have explained before here that the only sensible way to do this, at least in Texas, is to get a home equity loan secured by the house."
>>That is exactly what I am saying but if you title the house in your name only you won't even have to tell her you're taking the loan, you just go to the bank and get the loan and sign the additional security note on the house. If done early enough it can't be presented as dissapation.
"Spend any other money you may come into, on good times, as soon as you get it."

I'm not bitter, it could be worse for me. I just wish I was informed years ago. Hopefully some father reading this website miserably ready to get a divorce and thinking of getting justice will benefit by taking measures to prevent losing his house, children, savings, and income.
