When you divorce in Texas, it is generally understood by most divorcing spouses that the majority of the common and unique assets they accumulated during the marriage are considered jointly owned. That means what you think is yours may just as much be your spouse’s stuff, and the Court will do what is necessary to divide everything in a just and right manner.
A few of the more common assets that likely pop into your mind are items such as the house, money, boats, cars, etc. And that’s all true. But for every common asset caught in a tug-of-war between divorcing spouses, there are almost as many unique items.
How unique, you ask? Here are just a few common and unique assets that spouses fight over the most:
- Pets
- Appliances, equipment, and tools
- Antiques
- Family heirlooms
- Airline points and mileage
- Vacation properties
- Intellectual property
- Artwork
- Expensive wine collections
- Jewelry
- Furniture
- Christmas décor and heirlooms
- Items in off-site storage
- Timeshares
- Property in a safety deposit box
