Dividing what a couple owns is often the most complex part of a Texas divorce. Enos Family Law helps clients characterize, trace, value, and fairly divide community property — including homes, businesses, and retirement accounts.
The experienced attorneys at Enos Family Law guide their clients through the important task of dividing assets and debts in a divorce.
Texas is a community property state: most assets and debts acquired during a marriage belong to both spouses and must be divided in a “just and right” manner at divorce. Property owned before marriage — or received by gift or inheritance — is separate property and is not divided, but proving what is separate requires careful characterization and tracing.
The topics below explain how Texas courts characterize, value, and divide property, and how special situations such as business interests, retirement plans, fraud or waste of community assets, and unmarried couples are handled. Select any topic below to open its dedicated page.
