Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My soon to be ex husband and I bought a home together. We took out a loan for the down payment because he had separate property we sold to pay off that loan. Now that we're divorcing can he still consider the equity in our house separate property due to the fact that we used money from his separate property?

Yes,
Money from his separate property used to purchase community is a debt that he community estate owes his separate estate. I assume the sale and loan can be documented.
