Equitable Asset Division and Distribution of Intricate Marital Portfolios

At the McNamara Law Office, we work with our clients to identify and classify assets obtained during the course of their marriage. We review property in a business-like way and identify assets in an inventory.

In Texas, an equal division of property is not automatic. The judge’s job is to divide the estate in a just and right manner that is both fair and equitable. Our job is to ensure all data on income, assets and debts are accurately presented for division and to advocate for the division that is best for our client.

Disparate earning ability can shift more finances and assets to the spouse making less money. Fault grounds may also be considered when it comes to asset division. We take these issues into account and ensure our clients receive everything that they are entitled to when the divorce is finalized.
