LGBT Divorce & Property Division
We understand that LGBT couples may have unique concerns and issues when it comes to the division of property and the dissolution of their marriage. We will work with you to address any such concerns, and we will tailor our approach to ensure that your interests are protected.
In Texas, property is divided in accordance with the state's community property laws. Community property is any property that was acquired by a married couple during the marriage. This means that if a same-sex couple was married in another state where same-sex marriage was legal, they will have community property in Texas if they moved to the state during their marriage.
If a couple was not married in a state where same-sex marriage was legal, then Texas law will not recognize their union as a marriage. This means that the couple will not have any community property in Texas. If this is the case, then the division of property will be based on the state's rules for divorce, which do not follow community property laws. This means that the division of property will be based on the "fair and just" division of the couple's property, and will not be based on the couple's community property.
Regardless of whether a couple is married or not, Texas law requires that all marital property be divided equitably. This means that the division of property must be fair and reasonable, and it must be based on the facts of the case. This means that if a same-sex couple has a prenuptial agreement, then the terms of the agreement will control the division of property. If the couple has a prenuptial agreement, then the terms of the agreement will control the division of property and assets. We can help you create a prenuptial agreement that will ensure that your rights and interests are protected.
