Texas Collaborative Law Blog: May 2015

http://texascollaborativelaw.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Texas Collaborative Law Blog. Friday, May 1, 2015. It's Not a 50-50 World! While many people expect property and debts to be divided 50-50 on divorce, that rarely happens. There are several reasons for that. First, Texas law does not mandate, or even suggest, an equal division. Texas law requires that property division be "just and right". That leaves a lot of wiggle room. Sometimes, there are great disparities of income between the parties. The party with more separate assets often just doesn't need the...

Texas Collaborative Law Blog. Monday, June 1, 2015. Dealing with a Spouse Coming Out. While it is still fairly uncommon, we are starting to see more situations where a couple has been married a long time and "suddenly" one spouse tells the other that he/she is gay.
