In a divorce, property division can be a confusing and contentious topic for many Texas couples. Legal processes for asset distribution and property division during divorce vary from state to state. To maximize your chances of securing a desired outcome in the courtroom, it’s important to have a basic understanding of the method used by family courts to divide property in a Texas divorce.
In the U.S., the family courts in each state can divide property using one of two systems: community property or equitable distribution.
As a community property state, family courts in Texas consider any property accrued during the duration of marriage to be “community property” (e.g., jointly owned by both spouses).
Community property includes assets and debts accumulated throughout the marriage, regardless of who acquired them or whose name is on the title. Such property can encompass items like:
However, there are exceptions to community property rules. Separate property entails individually owned assets obtained prior to marriage that aren’t subject to equal division, although certain gifts or inheritances incurred during the marriage may also be considered separate property.
While an equal division of property occurs often in Texas divorces, it’s important to understand that an exact split is never guaranteed. Although a 50/50 distribution is common, family courts have the right to determine property division at their discretion.
