In Texas, property accumulated during the marriage is considered community (marital) property, except in very specific cases such as a family inheritance and portions of a personal injury settlement. You will help your attorney prepare an inventory of all marital assets including values so the judge understands what you and your spouse own and if it is considered your separate property. An equitable distribution doesn’t necessarily mean a 50-50 split of everything. There will be negotiations to determine how certain property is to be divided, including who keeps the house or whether the house is sold.
