Andrews v. Andrews
Court of Appeals of Texas (1984) | 677 S.W.2d 171; 1984 Tex. App. LEXIS 6370
TL;DR: A Texas appellate court affirmed the imposition of a constructive trust on a marital residence titled in the husband's name due to his premarital fraud, but reversed an unequal community property division lacking sufficient justification.
Legal Significance: This case clarifies that a constructive trust can arise from a breach of a premarital confidential relationship regarding property, even without direct financial contribution to the down payment by the wronged party.
