Dividing property in a divorce is never easy. Indeed, determining who should get what is often an area where spouses get hung up. Texas is a community property jurisdiction. All of a couple’s marital property is presumed to be jointly owned—though that does not always guarantee a 50/50 split. We handle complex property division cases, including high worth divorces, business owner divorces, and medical professional divorces.
