Experienced Wise County Property Division Lawyer

Texas is a community property state, which means that most property acquired during the marriage is subject to division. However, not all property is divided equally, and many cases involve disputes over classification, valuation, or fairness.

​

Our firm represents clients throughout Wise County, providing representation that is:

  • Detail-oriented and thorough

  • Strategically focused

  • Grounded in Texas community property law

  • Tailored to each client’s financial circumstances​

 

Every property division case is unique, and careful preparation is essential.

Community Property vs. Separate Property

A key issue in any property division is determining whether assets are classified as community property or separate property under Texas law.

  • Community property generally includes assets acquired by either spouse during the marriage

  • Separate property may include assets owned before marriage, as well as certain gifts and inheritances

 

Proper classification is essential, as it directly affects how property may be divided during divorce. Each asset must be carefully reviewed and supported with appropriate documentation to ensure an accurate and equitable outcome.

Property Division Issues We Handle

Our firm assists clients with a wide range of property division matters, including:​

  • Real estate and marital homes

  • Retirement accounts and pensions

  • Business interests

  • Bank accounts and investments

  • Personal property

  • Marital debts and liabilities

 

Property division often requires careful analysis to avoid hidden issues and unintended consequences.

Addressing Hidden Assets and Unfair Division

In some cases, one spouse may attempt to hide, waste, or undervalue marital assets during divorce. Texas courts take these actions seriously, and identifying misconduct is essential to achieving a fair and equitable property division.​

​

Our firm assists clients with matters involving:

  • Waste or dissipation of marital assets

  • Failure to disclose required financial information

  • Disputes over asset valuation

  • Requests for equitable adjustments to account for misconduct

 

Thorough investigation, accurate financial documentation, and strategic legal action are critical to uncovering hidden assets and protecting a client’s financial interests.

Property Division in Divorce Proceedings

Property division is typically addressed as part of the divorce process. We work closely with clients to develop strategies that align with their long-term financial goals while complying with Texas law. When divorce also involves children, these decisions often intersect with issues such as child custody and parenting arrangements, making it important to address all aspects of a case holistically.

​

  • Enforcing compliance with property division orders
