Property Division & Divorce

Property division is another factor that leads many couples going thru divorce to litigation. When you spend years working and building a life together few things can hurt more than having to divide your memories. We are lucky that in Texas division of assets can reasonably simple.

Everything is divided 50-50, well that is everything that you saved, purchased or accumulated during your marriage. For detailed answers to your questions call a San Antonio Attorney at (210) 865-0711.

  • Scenario: We saved 10,000 during the marriage but only one spouse worked or financially contributed.
  • Result: The 10,000 is divided 50 – 50 giving each spouse $5,000
  • Scenario: I inherited land worth 200k during our marriage and my spouse wants half.
  • Result: inherited assets, such as property, cash, heirlooms, are not divided like marital property. Inheritance stays with the spouse that inherited
  • Scenario: I’ve been married 20 years & my husband is retired from the Army. Am I entitled to a portion of his retirement benefits?
  • Result: Yes, the spouse is entitled to half the benefits earned during the marriage.

Property division is usually one of the main concerns a couple ending their marriage or siblings dealing with family law matter will have if they don't have to deal with a custody plan or support order.

Residency Is Required For Divorce

Residency is a common concern for many people, so I would like to spend a few moments discussing the residency requirements for Texas.

To be clear, you must be a resident of Texas for six months before filing for divorce. Many people who have not met residency requirements will seek a legal separation agreement that protects both parties while waiting to meet residency. * Emergency Hearings for support transfers or custody changes take special attention*

Military Residency Requirements: We need to take a minute to really discuss this due to the fact that we have so many local military residents.

What Happens To Debt After Divorce

Like support payments , If you don’t address your debt during your divorce the issue will never be resolved. Few couples spend years together without establishing credit card debt, mortgage, loans for furniture etc so it’s not always about dividing assets and savings.

Many times the main sticking point in family law arbitration or with the breakup other than custody issues is dividing the debt. Deciding who will pay what and when the debt will be paid for. Ending your marriage can have terrible financial consequences for both parties involved if you don’t hire a San Antonio Attorney experienced enough to handle complex financial issues.

Debt In Only One Spouse’s Name: Let’s face facts, creditors will not consider a decree ordering your ex to pay the debt as a reason to forgive your responsibility. This huge gap between family courts and creditors is something that hurts a lot of individuals. Don’t be fooled, don’t let yourself be lied to and accept the fact that if the debt is in only your name, then you will be responsible for it.

Debt In Both Names: This can be a complicated matter, but if both parties are responsible an experienced legal professional like myself can easily divide the debt, schedule pay off dates and keep this from becoming an issue that complicates your dissolution of marriage.
