FAQ

Retirement Accounts: More Than Just Savings In Texas, this includes 401(k)s, IRAs, pensions, and other savings plans. The portion of these accounts accumulated during the marriage is typically considered community property. Therefore, they are subject to division during the divorce.

How Does Property Division Work in a Texas Divorce? If your spouse owns a business, then you may be entitled to half of it. However, whether you are owed half of the business depends on whether it is separate or community property.

If the husband started a corporation before marriage, that company is his separate property, even though the business may have grown and increased in value throughout the marriage. If the business was started during the marriage, it will be considered, at first, to be a community asset.

Usually, the court will issue a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), separate from your divorce decree. This will direct your husband's employer to divide retirement benefits in ance with the order.

Post-Judgment QDROs Sometimes a divorce is granted without a QDRO being signed. In Texas the Judge typically loses authority to sign anything 30 days after the divorce decree is signed. It's important to get your QDRO signed within 30 days of the decree or a new case must be filed.

Due to California's community property laws, if the divorcing couple owns a business, then the value of it is generally divided between the spouses ing to their respective ownership interests.

In Texas, a business started during the marriage with joint funds is "community property" – meaning it's owned equally between the spouses (50/50).
