Did you know that according to Texas Family Code 3.002 Texas follows the community property model for property division in a divorce case? All marital assets acquired by either party during the marriage are considered to be owned equally by the parties and, therefore, must be divided in a just and equitable manner between the two spouses upon divorce. 



Our divorce property division attorney is here to take on complicated asset division cases, contested cases or cases requiring litigation in Tarrant and Parker County, Texas

Protect Your Assets

The judge decides upon a “just and right” divorce property asset division of the community property held by the married couple.  Divorce Lawyer Bob Leonard is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and a respected member of the Fort Worth business community. With strong, solid business acumen and proficient and persuasive courtroom skills, he is the steady, shrewd expert you need leading your legal team.

Community Property vs. Separate Property in Divorce Property Division

Community property is anything you acquired or earned during the marriage unless you can prove it is separate property. Separate property is anything that is acquired prior to the marriage, or that is acquired during the marriage by gift or inheritance. Characterization of property means whether the property or asset is defined as community or separate.


We see frequent disputes as to the character or value of an asset, particularly in high-asset divorces. As a long-time businessman and board certified Fort Worth divorce attorney, Bob Leonard specializes in complex divorce property and asset division. This ability is critically important because the judge can only divide or award community property, not separate property.


The first step is determining the nature and value of the divorce property and assets. In addition to client input, Bob works closely with experts, when necessary, to support his client’s position and to evaluate the marital community. Then, when he has all of the facts, he develops a success strategy and best plan of action to protect his client and to preserve the property or assets, including hidden assets.
