Travis County Family Law Attorney
Texas is a community property state. Property acquired by spouses during a marriage is generally characterized as community property, subject to a few exceptions. Separate property is any property acquired prior to a marriage and limited property acquired during a marriage, including property acquired by inheritance or gift.
Texas courts are required to divide community property in an equitable fashion. The term equitable does not necessarily require an even 50/50 split. Courts may award one spouse a disproportionate share of the community property and they may order a spouse to be responsible for a disproportionate share of marital debts when necessary to achieve an equitable result.
Protect Your Rights
I am Brian Turner, an Austin divorce lawyer with more than 20 years of legal experience. I only represent men in family law cases, so I am uniquely aware of property division issues that impact the rights of men during a divorce.
I am prepared to handle all property division issues that may arise during your divorce, including:
- Valuation and division of retirement accounts
- Valuation and division of a marital home
- Division of personal property
- Division of stocks, mutual funds and other investment accounts
I am also able to assist in cases involving complex property division issues, such as the valuation of a family-owned business, or disputes concerning the property characterization of property.
