Dividing Your Marital Property
As part of your divorce, you’ll need to divide up your marital property and debt. Texas is a community property state. This means that if you cannot agree on how to divide your assets, the judge will distribute them in a way that is “just and right.” This means that the judge will assess:
each spouse’s income and earning power,
the circumstances surrounding the divorce (such as evidence of infidelity),
the child custody arrangement, and
each spouse’s physical and mental health before splitting up your property.
This is a complicated analysis and you need a skilled divorce lawyer advocating on your behalf. Sometimes a spouse will argue that an asset is separate property — and not part of the marital estate — in an attempt to avoid its distribution. At The Alsandor Law Firm, we thoroughly evaluate and investigate property division issues. We will fight to get you your fair share.
