Enacted-Effective 9/1/11: HB 908 -- Fraud on the community in divorce cases

Caption:  Relating to the division of community property on dissolution of marriage.
Author:  Thompson
Bill History
Bill Text

Relevance:  This bill applies only to suits for dissolution of a marriage.  It provides additional remedies in cases where fraud on the community occurred.  As originally filed and as passed by the House, the bill defined "fraud on the community" in a way that could have caused problems in the administration of decedents' estates.  As finally passed, the definition was removed, making it just about remedies in a divorce.

Even though it appears to apply only to suits for dissolution of a marriage, the bill interests probate lawyers because the concepts may bleed over into decedents' estates.

    I use Zotero to grab citations for my BibTeX files, and it works well so far. I can’t compare it to Endnote, because I never used it. My only complaint is that Zotero seems to be a resource hog, so it can make Firefox run slowly. I’ve solved that by exporting ...
