IS PROPERTY DIVIDED 50/50 IN THE STATE OF TEXAS?
A. The Court is charged with dividing community property between the spouses in what is called a “Just and Right Division.” This does not necessarily mean 50/50. The Court has discretion to grant an unequal division of the community to one spouse or the other depending on considerations of various rights and equities between the parties. Don’t get stuck on the idea of 50/50. You will find that the Judges generally try to do what they think is fair.
