There are plenty of ways that people can decide on property division during divorce. You have options such as mediation, arbitration, collaborative law and trial. You and your spouse can work out a plan on your own or by working with your attorneys.
Generally, it’s a smart idea to make sure you identify all your assets, have appraisals when needed and get to know the laws that affect property division in Texas. You want to make sure that you are getting a fair amount of property from your marital property.
