What Counts as Marital Property in Texas?

Texas is a community property state, so most assets and debts considered jointly owned by spouses are subject to division in divorce.

This can include:

Income
Property purchased
Accumulated debts

Separate property includes assets owned before the marriage or those that one spouse received as a gift or inheritance during the marriage. These aren’t typically subject to division. However, proving that an asset qualifies as separate property can be difficult, especially when finances have become commingled over the years. The burden of proof is on the spouse wanting to claim an asset as separate, and that's where having an experienced attorney is essential.

How Is Marital Property Divided?

Texas law requires a “just and right” community property division, which doesn't necessarily mean a 50/50 split. Courts consider numerous factors when determining what's fair, including each spouse's earning capacity, the marriage’s length, fault in the marriage’s breakdown, and the needs of any children involved.

Property can be divided through direct negotiation between the parties, mediation with a neutral third party, or litigation if no agreement can be reached. Often, spouses can reach a settlement that avoids court entirely, saving time, money, and stress.
