How does the State of Texas divide marital assets in the event of a divorce – 50/50?

In Texas, assets are divided according to a standard called a just and right distribution. This is a very liberal standard. This basically means that a Court, after looking at the totality of the circumstances, including fault in the breakup of the marriage, can do what it thinks is fair. In some instances, this might mean a 50/50 distribution while in other cases the division of assets could be grossly disproportionate. It is imperative, in the event you are getting a divorce and have assets, to consult with a competent and experienced divorce attorney such as the divorce attorneys at Smith & Garg.
