Understanding Community vs. Separate Property
Texas is a community property state. That means most assets and debts acquired during a marriage belong to both spouses and must be divided in a way that is “just and right.” This doesn’t always mean a 50/50 split.
Community property includes:
- Income earned during the marriage
- Real estate bought while married
- Retirement accounts, pensions, and investments accumulated jointly
- Debts such as mortgages, credit cards, or loans acquired during the marriage
Separate property includes:
- Assets owned before the marriage
- Gifts or inheritances given to one spouse
- Settlements for personal injury (excluding lost wages)
Establishing what is community and what is separate is crucial. Our attorneys work with financial professionals when necessary to accurately classify and value all property involved.
Factors Courts Consider When Dividing Assets
When deciding how to divide property, the court may consider:
- Each spouse’s earning capacity
- Fault in the breakdown of the marriage
- Who will have custody of the children
- Future financial needs of each spouse
- Contributions made to the other’s education or career
These factors help determine a division that is fair—not just equal.
