How Do You Divide Marital Assets?
The first step in the property division process is to determine what is community property and what is separate property.
Community property is anything that is shared between the spouses and includes most property that was acquired during the marriage. Community property is divided equitably – not necessarily equally – in Texas.
Separate property is anything that only one spouse can claim as their own.
Property that will have to be addressed during your divorce includes:
- Real estate
- The family house
- Shared businesses
- Cars
- Money
- Furniture
- Retirement accounts
- Debts
- Gifts and inheritances
- Stock dividends
