Q: Where do i start to get a legal separation from my husband and how does it work? Who gets to stay in the home&who leaves
A: Texas does not recognize legal separation and it depends of the specific facts of your case as to who gets to stay in the house, you may or may not be able to stay in the home. The process for obtaining a divorce in Texas can be complicated without the help of qualified legal counsel. A good lawyer will work hard to achieve your goals and after the initial consultation you should have a good idea about what to expect regarding the process from beginning to end.
