Divorce affects more than just your relationship—it reshapes your family’s future. Untangling shared finances and dividing property is an essential part of moving forward. We're here to help you handle that process with clarity, care, and strategic legal guidance.

In Texas, property isn’t always split 50/50. Courts aim for a division that’s “just and right,” which may mean one spouse receives more than the other. We’ll work with you to make sure your rights are protected and that the final division supports your long-term stability.

Serving clients across Central Texas, we help individuals understand, identify, and value marital assets—from retirement accounts and homes to businesses and separate property. Together, we’ll create a plan that gives you the confidence to take your next steps forward.

When needed, we partner with financial professionals—like valuation experts or certified financial planners—to provide a full and accurate picture of the marital estate. With the right team and the right approach, you can avoid unnecessary disputes and reach a resolution that supports your family’s next chapter.

Divorce and Division of Assets

Dividing property during divorce can be complex—especially when the assets you’ve built together span businesses, investments, or long-term retirement planning. Some assets are straightforward, while others require thoughtful valuation and strategic legal insight.

For those with more intricate financial holdings, property division may involve:

We work closely with clients to evaluate each asset, identify what qualifies as community or separate property, and protect what matters most. When necessary, we collaborate with financial experts to ensure valuations are accurate and settlements are fair—so you can move forward with peace of mind and a solid foundation.

how texas divides property

In Texas, property acquired during marriage is generally considered community property, which means it’s subject to division during a divorce. But not everything is split down the middle. Assets like inheritances, gifts, and property owned before the marriage may be classified as separate property—and that distinction matters.

We will help you:

Identify and protect your separate property
Properly value and divide marital assets
Avoid costly oversights or unfair agreements

Whether your case is simple or involves complex holdings, you deserve an advocate who sees the full picture—financially and emotionally.
