Property & Debt Division [back]


Randy Essenburg's Law Firm Provides:
  • Guidance through the property and debt division laws and legal processes to achieve some fairness
  • Consultation (answering your questions) regarding the division of property and debt and insight into the perspective of the courts.

At the time of divorce the division of the marital property can be more complicated than most people realize. You need to have good legal advice on what your rights are in appropriately dividing the marital property.

The community and separate property laws in the State of Texas are such that you need an experienced attorney to make sure your rights are protected.

For example, if there is property that was owned by you prior to the marriage, or property given to you as a gift or through inheritance, then your spouse may not have a community property claim to that asset.

Another issue is the existence of retirement funds. Were they accumulated during the marriage such that they are community property?
