How Property Is Divided In Texas Divorces
In Texas, the law mandates a “just and right” division of marital property during a divorce. This does not necessarily mean a 50-50 split; rather, it is an equitable distribution based on several factors. Courts consider elements such as each spouse’s earning capacity, fault in the marriage dissolution, future needs and child custody arrangements.
Property subject to division can include:
- Real estate properties
- Retirement accounts
- Investment portfolios
- Business interests
- Vehicles
- Furniture and home appliances
- Jewelry and art
Dividing assets such as businesses and real estate can be particularly complex. The valuation of these assets must be accurate, and the division must consider future earnings and potential liabilities. Such complexities make it essential to work with an experienced attorney who can navigate these intricacies effectively.
At The Cook Law Firm & Associates PLLC, our lawyers will craft a tailored strategy that protects your interests while aiming for a fair and favorable outcome. Whether your situation involves assessing the value of a business or negotiating real estate divisions, our attorneys will fight for your best interests.
