First and foremost, please refrain from telling me to "hightail it out of there" or something to that effect. I have made my decision regarding my love for that woman, I merely ask you to please respect that.

Now, as a responsible person, I would like to know if, in case the worst happens and we divorce, there is any way she could harm me or my wallet (let's be honest) that I do not know of. She is not the petty type, neither am I and I love her very very much, but emotions are a powerful agent.

However, seeing as I am leaving everything I've ever known to be with her, I would appreciate some advice, preferably from older folks, as to the real implications of a marriage going south in the US. In France, such issues are almost non-existent as long as you are not a dick (men OR women, the French courts do not discriminate based on gender).

Thank you in advance, and once again, please don't be bashing women or my situation. Let's keep Men's rights as fair and emotion free as it already is.

p.s. : We'll be in Vidor/Beaumont/Houston, if that matters.

EDIT: I feel I should clarify a few things : I have no assets, she has a house. I am not lovestruck to the point of blindness: I thought this very post made it clear. I am French, have always lived here, therefore I am more looking for "non-obvious" ways I could get screwed. I did read Texas divorce laws, according to them I would not have to pay for child support since the children are not mine. I should also add that I will be under consular protection once in the state--i.e., any legal matter I could be involved in would be brought to the attention of the the French embassy.

EDIT 2: I appreciate every answer. But please people, understand that my decision to marry her is immuable. As a naturally cautious person, I merely wish to know ways I could get taken advantage of that wouldn't be immediatly obvious to someone like me (an alien immigrant)

EDIT 3: According to Texas law : Presumed Father - a man who:  was married to the child’s mother when the child was born;  was married to the child’s mother any time during the 300 days before the child was born;  married the mother after the child was born and voluntarily claimed paternity of the child with the bureau of vital statistics, on the child’s birth certificate, or in a record in which he promised to support the child as his own; or  during the first two years of the child’s life, continuously lived with the child and represented to others that the child was his own.

So I think I'm off the hook regarding child support?
