What You Need To Know About Property Division In Texas
Texas is a community property state, which means that in each divorce, each spouse is entitled to fair and equitable share of the couple’s marital property. Marital property is defined as anything that was acquired while the couple was married, with very limited exceptions. Marital property includes items such as:
- Business assets from a jointly-owned business
- Profits accumulated during the marriage from a business that was established before the couple was married
- Contributions to a retirement account made during the marriage, even if only one of the spouses contributed to the account
- Equity in a marital home
- Any other income or debt that was acquired during the marriage
Often, many people are surprised to learn that some of the property that they believed they owned independently is subject to division. When we review your case, we analyze your situation to determine what might happen in your case. We ask you what you hope to accomplish in your case, and then propose strategies and solutions that advance your specific goals.
