Galveston Equitable Distribution of Assets Lawyer
Texas City TX Property Division Lawyer
During your marriage, you invest, you buy things, you don't think of them as one person's or the other's. That mindset changes when you divorce. You want to be treated fairly, and there are items you would really like to keep, that have special meaning for you.
Come in and let us explain to you what is likely to happen. In Texas the law says property acquired during the marriage will be split fairly, but that doesn't necessarily mean 50/50.
Aside from property you acquired (or that appreciated in value), you may have property you bought prior to the marriage, property you inherited, or property you received as a gift. This is NOT part of the marital estate that will be divided between you and your spouse. It is yours.
Equitable Distribution of Assets
What factors influence the "equitable distribution" of assets? The needs of the parties are important factors. One spouse often has greater earning potential, and the other spouse's standard of living would likely decline unless he or she is granted a greater share of the marital estate.
One spouse may have brought more assets into the marriage, or may have gone to extraordinary lengths to acquire assets during the marriage. For details on the many other factors a court may consider, contact the firm to arrange a confidential consultation.
Aside from answering your questions, our lawyers ask questions of you—and we listen. We want to know about your situation and what your goals are.
