Comprehensive Guidance For Your Texas Property Division Needs

As a Waxahachie division of assets attorney, I know that community property can be a highly emotional issue for Texas families going through a divorce. Property division involves dividing community property between spouses in a divorce. This process can be challenging, requiring careful consideration of the rights and interests of each spouse.

At the Law Office of Kenneth R. Moore, PLLC, I have valuable experience handling complex family law issues, including property division. As a former police officer, I can manage the intricacies of family law, provide personalized representation and take on even the most difficult cases.

What Factors Can Influence The Division Of Assets In Texas Divorces?

As a community property state, Texas generally divides community property equally between spouses during the divorce process. In some cases, the court may decide on an equitable distribution of assets by considering several factors. This division, which is fair but not equal, aims to achieve a just result for both spouses and any children involved. These factors include:

  • Length of the marriage
  • Income of each spouse
  • Age and health of each spouse
  • Contributions that each spouse made to the marriage

For instance, the court may consider the role of a spouse as a homemaker or caregiver. It can also consider the impact of the divorce on the well-being of children. As a Dallas property division lawyer, I can help you face complex family law issues with greater confidence.

How Is It Determined What Is Community Property Vs. Separate Property?

In Texas, community property is typically what either spouse acquired during the marriage. This includes income earned and the property purchased with that income.

Separate property is what either spouse acquired before the marriage. It also includes what they inherited during the marriage. Examples are birthday gifts, family heirlooms, inheritances and items they bought prior to getting married.
