Seeking Fair And Equitable Division Of Assets

The division of property during a divorce is often a contested issue that can affect an individual’s future financial stability. If you are going through a divorce, it is important that you have an experienced attorney representing your interests.

At The Powell Law Firm, our experienced lawyers seek fair and equitable resolutions. We understand that the less money our clients spend on attorneys’ fees and court costs, the more money they have for their families, which is why our family law lawyers make every effort to minimize the financial and emotional cost of divorce.

We understand that most people want the most inexpensive yet fair divorce they can get. The fact is, battling over small details when dividing assets is inefficient and costly. At The Powell Law Firm, we make careful cost/benefit analyses to get our clients’ the best overall results. 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.

What Our Clients
Have To Say

  • “I wanted to take the time to thank you [John Powell III] for helping me through a tough time in my life. Your guidance and voice of reason really helped me more than you will ever know. I had a previous attorney that I felt could have really cared less about me or the situation. Once on board with you, I felt an immediate difference and I was thankful for your quick response. I could not have finished this process without you and I am glad you were able to have so much hands on time with me. Again, thank you for everything you did for me and my son!”

    (S.R.)

  • “John Powell III was very helpful through the entire process of my divorce which involved a custody fight over my 3-year-old daughter. Mr. Powell has a strong working rapport with the Brazoria County family court. He was very patient, walking me through every step, knowing what to expect from my wife's attorney. We were ultimately successful and I would highly recommend him. As for my daughter, she is doing great. She has advanced to the preschool 2 class early, she is now 3.5 and now goes to school with the 4-5 year old's. Her emotional and behavioral issues have disappeared. Thanks to Mr. Powell's hard work my daughter will have a great chance at life.”

    (K.K.)

  • “Just wanted to say thanks for handling my post-divorce property division issue in a timely and professional manner. Especially your attention to detail and some quick-witted humor as well. Your firm was referred to us by a friend which can always be somewhat awkward but you made us feel at ease through the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone if the need arises.”

    (J.B.)

  • “Dear Mr. Powell: I want to thank you for your great service and express my gratitude. I am extremely pleased how everything was handled and I have the highest possible opinion about your professionalism, the quality of your service and your attitude toward me as a client. Thank you again, best regards.”

    (M.K.S.)

  • “I had what I learned was not your stereotypical divorce case. John Powell III was extremely understanding of the situation and worked with myself and my former spouse to navigate the legal pitfalls in our, and our children's case. Everything was resolved amicably and with minimal impact to our family. Without Mr. Powell's assistance I do not know that we would have gotten to such a positive place.”

    (A.W.)

  • “John Powell III is a compassionate and thorough attorney. My case was a complex custody issue that required work in two wide-spread counties. Mr. Powell was able to efficiently overcome this added challenge. He is patient and clear in explaining concepts of the law. Even after the case was closed, Mr. Powell was available to explain the final judgment and to help ensure we were following the Judge's intent. It is very comforting to know that if additional issues arise he is there to act as my advocate.”

    (R.T.)
