How Is Marital Property Divided Under Texas Community Property Laws?
Texas operates as a community property state. Under Texas Family Code Section 7.001, courts divide marital property in a manner that is just and right. This does not necessarily mean 50-50. Community property division applies to:
- Bank accounts
- Real estate
- Business interests
- Other financial assets acquired during the marriage
When dividing retirement assets in divorce in Texas, I draft sophisticated qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs) in accordance with Chapter 9, Subchapter B of the Texas Family Code (Sections 9.101–9.105).
At my Galveston family law firm, I focus strictly on property and asset matters rather than high-conflict custody battles. I have the experience to guide you through marital property division, title transfers, post-divorce enforcement and all issues related to Texas community property division.
Can A Divorce Be Finalized In Galveston Without A Lengthy Courtroom Battle?
Many people can end their marriages without stepping into a courtroom. As an uncontested divorce attorney in Texas, I emphasize nonlitigious divorce methods such as:
- Mediation: A neutral third party helps both spouses reach a mutually agreeable divorce settlement.
- Private settlements: Spouses negotiate settlement terms directly through counsel.
- Arbitration: An arbitrator issues a final, binding decision that remains private.
Choosing alternative dispute resolution methods allows you to protect your privacy, lower your costs and have more control over your divorce’s outcome.
