Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

My spouses employer is requiring him to relocate from here in Texas to Utah in order for him to keep his job. They are paying for the move but it states that "wife and children must move to Utah at same time....." Him and I aren't legally married and can they require that of me and my children? We receive 0 benefits from them and it's not a government job.

Simply answer: probably not. I would have to see the paper work, and details, but what I think the employer is saying is that if the employer is asked to pay for your/your's children's move, it must be all done at one time.It is very likely that if you do not move with him, the company will not pay for your move. But I think there is little doubt that you can stay here, he can move, and you can follow without compensation from the company.

This answer is not nor should it be construed as an acceptance of representation, or the offering of legal advice. It is more in the nature of a generalized answer to a question.
