Property Division in Texas Divorce Cases

Texas is a community property state, which means that most property acquired during the marriage is subject to property division. Determining what is community property versus separate property can be complex, particularly when assets include businesses, real estate, retirement accounts, or investments.

​

Our firm assists clients with:​

  • Identifying and valuing marital assets
