Webster Divorce Settlement Lawyer
Texas is a community property state, meaning that all of the property acquired throughout your marriage, including interest earned on retirement accounts or investments during your marriage, is considered marital property, which must be divided justly and fairly in the event of a divorce, with few exceptions. Property may be classified as separate, personal property under certain circumstances such as when property was:
- Acquired prior to marriage
- Acquired as a gift or through inheritance in the name of one spouse
- Designated as separate by a prenuptial agreement
Classification of property as community property does not necessarily mean that community property will be divided equally. In some cases, such as when the spouses have disparate incomes and differing income potential, one spouse may receive a higher allotment of property than the other.
Our experienced Galveston County family law attorney, Mr. Morris, will evaluate your case and determine if there are any circumstances that may justify classification of property as personal instead of community property or an unequal distribution of property. His goal is to vigorously defend your position to ensure that you receive, or retain, what is equitable and rightfully yours.
