While there are straightforward options in most cases, our experience means we are prepared to address the most complicated marital estates.

Texas: A Community Property State

Texas is a community property state. Community property includes all property generated during the marriage, including retirement funds. There are some exceptions, including gifts and inheritances. After the court determines what is community property and what is separate property, it divides the community property between the parties. In a community property state, both sides are entitled to a fair distribution of all community property.

Separate property includes assets that were gained before the marriage, as well as gifts and inheritances. With few exceptions, all of a family's community property will be divided by the court in a fair and equitable manner. Many divorcing individuals argue that their spouses did not work or that their spouses never cared for the children. Such arguments do not work in Texas. Texas focuses on what is fair and equitable, not who worked and who watched the children.

People are often concerned about hidden assets. We know how to identify attempts to conceal assets and how to take action if one spouse is wasting assets.
