Hi AW! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
Does a separated wife who will be divorcing have the right to walk into her soon to be ex husband's home because their child resides there.
In Texas, the right to enter a soon-to-be ex-spouse's home typically depends on property ownership and any court orders in place. Generally:
- If she is a co-owner, she may have the right to enter.
- If there's a court order restricting access, she must comply.
- Child custody arrangements might affect visitation rights, not property access.
Is there a court order or custody agreement in place?
No. She was married for approximately * yrs and the property is the husband's.
Thanks for sharing that information. In Texas, since the property is solely the husband's and there is no court order or custody agreement, the wife generally does not have the right to enter the husband's home. It's advisable to seek legal counsel to discuss visitation rights and any other legal options regarding access to the child.
