Knowing and Defending Your Property Rights

In Texas, all property acquired during your marriage is considered "community property " and is subject to division in your divorce. This means that property owned or purchased prior to marriage is separate and is retained by the owner after a divorce.

Additionally, gifts and inheritance are considered separate property in Texas. Any Christmas or birthday gifts are separate from community property and belong to the spouse who received them. Inheritance given to only one spouse is also considered separate for divorce purposes.

Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements and Your Rights

A pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement may affect your rights in a divorce. Signed before or during your marriage, these types of agreements often include language concerning alimony or property rights in the event of a divorce.

Our attorneys can review your pre- or post-nuptial agreement. We will conduct a thorough investigation of your marital assets and debts, consulting with financial experts and forensic accountants, when necessary, to fully evaluate your rights to property in your divorce.

Real Results Property Rights: We have assisted clients in enforcing and challenging complex property rights in pre- and post-marital agreements, successfully securing their rights to alimony and high-value assets.
