How Texas Divides Property in Divorce

As a community property state, Texas divides property that was acquired during the course of a marriage in an equitable and just manner. This does not necessarily mean that marital property will be divided equally, but that it will be divided in a fair manner to be determined by a judge. Each spouse will generally keep separate property that was owned before entering the marriage, as well as gifts or inheritances. the major source of contention for most couples, however, is deciding what is classified as separate and marital property.

There are many things the court will examine when ruling on the division of your property:

• The length of the marriage
• The earning capacity of each spouse
• Each spouse's health
• Each spouse's education and employability
• Which spouse is responsible for raising the children

Tips When Dividing Community Property

1. Create a list of belongings. Start by inventorying all of the things you own, including personal belongings, financial accounts, etc.
2. Compromise. The more time that couples spend fighting over every asset, the more expensive and stressful the divorce becomes.
3. Be objective. Many couples are not merely fighting over the monetary value of their belongings, but also the sentimental value that each item represents. It is often easier to take the emotions out of property discussions so you can focus on the big picture instead of constantly battling it out.
4. Work with an attorney. An attorney can explain how the laws work, review whether a property agreement is fair, and help you reach amicable solutions that are in your interets.
