Asked on Feb 26th, 2021 on Divorce - Texas
More details to this question:
Was awarded my inheritance. I bought a truck for the household. It's in my name. I can prove where the money came straight from inheritance for the purchase. He wants to keep it and have me switch the title. I offered to sell it and let him have 5000.00 and I keep the remainder to use to get on my feet. He left me unemployed and almost homeless. Yes, I know, get a lawyer is an easy answer. But I need an answer to show him so maybe we won't have to spend the extra money.

Your inheritance is your separate property. Anything you buy with your inheritance is also your separate property. You have zero obligation to give your husband the truck or any money from your inheritance. If you were to get a divorce, the court would not award your husband the truck or the money from your inheritance. You should keep your inheritance money separate from any joint account because that will help prove that it is your separate, inherited property.
