Dividing property after a marriage ends isn’t always fair, and it’s rarely simple. Texas is a community property state, but that doesn’t mean everything gets split down the middle. At Brandi Wolfe Law, we make sure your contributions are accounted for and your assets aren’t given away without a fight.
If you’re dealing with a shared home, retirement accounts, separate property, or a business, we’ll help you take a clear, strategic approach from day one.
What Does “Community Property” Actually Mean?
In Texas, most property acquired during the marriage is considered community property. That includes:
- Real estate
- Bank accounts and savings
- Retirement accounts and pensions
- Cars and vehicles
- Investments and stocks
- Shared debt
Some things may be considered separate property—like gifts, inheritances, or anything owned before the marriage—but only if they’re properly documented. We’ll help you draw that line and back it up with evidence.
You Don’t Have to Settle for 50/50
Judges divide property based on what’s “just and right,” not what’s exactly equal. If your spouse drained accounts, racked up debt, or handled money recklessly, the court can award you a greater share.
We help clients:
- Identify and protect separate property
- Untangle commingled accounts
- Trace unusual financial activity
- Value and divide businesses or professional practices
- Structure buyouts that make long-term sense

What Happens to the House?
The home often carries financial and emotional weight. Some people want to keep it. Others want it sold. We help you:
- Decide if a buyout or sale is in your best interest
- Evaluate options if children are involved
- Handle temporary use during the divorce process
Housing stability also connects closely with Child Custody. We look at the big picture so one decision doesn’t undercut another.
