Community Property in Texas
Texas is a community property state, meaning that all assets accumulated during the marriage are considered the joint property of both spouses. However, if one spouse can prove fault in the marriage, then he or she may receive more than 50 percent of the community estate. Grounds for fault may include:
- Adultery
- Family Violence
- Excessive Use of Alcohol or Drugs
- Felony Convictions or Prison Time
Often, one spouse will try to hide community assets. Christopher C. and Patricia L. Cooke's vast experience in evaluating financial records will stop this behavior and maximize your recovery.
Common Law Marriage
In the state of Texas, the common law marriage rules are unique. If you file joint tax returns or tell others that you are married, then you are considered married by a common law marriage. At our firm, we provide the guidance you need to ensure that you are able to provide for you and your family after the dissolution of a common law marriage.
