Dividing Property in a Texas Divorce: What Counts and What Doesn’t?

Posted by Bobby Dale BarinaJun 01, 20250 Comments

Property division during a divorce is one of the most contested issues we see at Barina Law Group. Texas is a community property state, meaning most property acquired during the marriage is divided 50/50—unless there's a good legal reason not to.

But what counts as community property? And what can you keep as your own? That's where things get complicated.

Separate property (like inheritance, gifts, or pre-marriage assets) may not be split—but it must be clearly proven. If your spouse is hiding assets, or if you have business or retirement accounts, we help uncover, value, and divide them fairly.

Serving Temple and all of Bell County, we bring decades of experience in protecting your financial future. We also handle high-value asset cases, retirement accounts, and real estate divisions—whether you're staying in Central Texas or moving elsewhere.

Our job is to help you walk away with financial stability and peace of mind.
