In Texas, all income and purchase property earned during the marriage is community property. That means it belongs to both spouses equally. During a divorce, the property must be divided equally. This also includes debts incurred during the marriage. However, if the court determines there is a “just and right” reason assets should not be divide equal a court order may result in unequal division.
Common types of community property include the family home, clothing, cars, investments, savings, clothing, jewelry. All community property and debts will be divided when the marriage ends unless the spouse can prove that the property is a separate property since they owned it before the marriage took place.
