Thinking about divorce but worried about losing the financial stability you’ve worked hard for? You’re not alone.
Maybe you run a business in The Woodlands or own property in Spring. Maybe you gave up your career to care for your kids in Conroe and wonder how you’ll make ends meet if your marriage ends. Or maybe you and your spouse built everything together, but now you need clear answers about who keeps what.
At Horak Law, our divorce and family law attorneys understand the real-life impact of Texas divorce laws. We help clients across North Houston, Montgomery County, and Harris County protect their homes, retirement, investments, and peace of mind — whether through negotiation, collaboration, or litigation.
If you want honest, practical guidance from a divorce lawyer who isn’t afraid of the courtroom, you’re in the right place.
Understanding Texas Community Property Laws
Texas follows community property rules — which means anything you or your spouse earned or bought during the marriage is generally considered shared property. But “community property” doesn’t mean everything is split 50/50 automatically.
A local family law attorney can explain how judges in Montgomery County and Harris County decide what’s fair. Factors include:
- Who earns more income
- Who handled family debts
- How much each spouse contributed to the household
- Whether separate property was mixed with joint assets
Questions often come up about homes bought before marriage, inherited property, and business interests. A seasoned divorce attorney in The Woodlands can help you trace what’s truly yours — and defend it.
Steps to Protect Your Wealth During Divorce
Working with an experienced Houston divorce lawyer is step one. But there are practical moves you can make right now:
Gather Financial Documents Early: Pull together bank statements, investment account summaries, tax returns, deeds, loan balances, and business records. Your family law attorney will use this to build your case.
Don’t Hide Money or Transfer Assets: Trying to move money to family or stash funds in hidden accounts almost always backfires. Courts penalize dishonest tactics. Let your lawyer craft a legitimate plan instead.
Secure Your Accounts & Passwords: Update logins for online banking, emails, and cloud storage. Protect your personal information, especially if you’re still living together.
Think Ahead, Not Just About Today: A quick settlement may feel easier now — but it can cost you long-term stability. Your lawyer’s job is to help you see the big picture: taxes, retirement, debt, and future child support.
