Re: Division of property in fault cases

The Texas Family Code does allow a Court to make a disproportionate division of the marital estate based upon a number of factors, of which fault is one such factor. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law practicing here in the Houston area. I would be glad to discuss your options if you would contact me directly. I offer free consultations.

Re: Division of property in fault cases

Fault grounds for divorce exist - adultery, cruelty, etc. Judges in the larger cities tend to believe that fault grounds alone do not justify a disproportionate division of property; however, in rural areas those facts may carry more weight. Facts related to responsibility for raising children and differences in earning capacities between the parties are readily recognized as reasons for disproportionate divisions of property.

I suggest you retain an attorney to assist in the preparation of the case.
