Division Of Marital Assets

Determining the fair value of the marital property is often the most complex and hotly contested issue in a divorce case. At the Morrison Law Firm, we take a collaborative approach to evaluating property that saves time, money, and hassles. If we are unable to get your spouse to agree to a division of the marital assets that we feel is fair and reasonable, then we will aggressively protect your interests in court. No matter the circumstances, the highly skilled divorce team at the Morrison Law Firm has the knowledge and experience to ensure comprehensive and fair representation in your divorce matter.

In many cases, a spouse will insist that specific assets are theirs alone, believing it is their car, their house, or their business. However, unless there is a valid prenuptial or other marital property agreement in place, Texas law states that all marital income and assets are presumed to be community property in the absence of clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. Evidence might help the court determine that you owned that asset prior to marriage, that you received it as a gift, that you inherited it, or another of the bases that allows you to prove that an asset is separate property and should not be divided in the divorce proceeding.  There may be significant financial and estate assets or business interests at stake in these instances, and you will need an experienced divorce attorney to confirm that certain property is legally yours and your spouse has no interest or claim, to prove the value of that asset, etc. Either way, the Morrison Law Firm will fight for what you deserve, which is a fair settlement or a fair division of assets by the court.

Texas family law attorney Greg Morrison has the experience and professional resources necessary to determine accurate property valuation, with the assistance of trained and experienced experts. In a complex divorce, accurate marital property valuation includes:

• Examining the current and future value of such assets as real estate, business ownership interests, and securities funds

• Looking at the present value of pension funds and 401k retirement funds

• Evaluating deferred assets or compensation you or your spouse are otherwise entitled to share

• Working with our professional experts and resources to determine if any marital assets are “hidden” and not included in reporting requirements
