Mine? How does it count?

Texas Case
Divorcing husband because of ADULTERY with a 14 year old prostitute in Thailand.
QUESTION: I have Jewelery that was gifted to me after separation while waiting for 5 year divorce. Does this separate property count as available or even assets I have when the community property is divided?
Next, I am disabled due to a chronic illness. My research indicates I am am eligible for lifetime spousal support. What are the chances of that? Do they take into consideration the gifted items?
 
I suggest you discuss these matters with your divorce attorney.
Texas doesn't offer LEGAL separations, therefore, the designation has no legal meaning.

If you received gifts during the marriage, the court has to determine if that property will be treated like an inheritance.

As far as spousal support, again, its possible but rare. Each case is unique, and the court will decide. If I were a betting man, I'd say its 3 to 2 against, but I'm no betting man.
