North Texas Property Division Attorneys
Marital Debt, Like Property, Is Subject to Distribution in Texas
Often, people facing divorce focus their financial goals on ensuring a fair deal in their property settlement. A large property settlement, though, will be greatly diminished if it is countered by excessive debt.
The division of marital debt can bring numerous legal complexities and questions. Who incurred the debt? Was some of the debt incurred before the marriage? Did some of the debt grow (for instance, by interest) during the marriage? And did the couple make decisions together that increased the amount of marital debt?
If you are divorcing and have questions and concerns regarding the division of marital debt, contact the Lewisville law firm of Neal, Ashmore, Evans & Stuntebeck. Our seven family law lawyers have more than 100 years of combined experience in dividing marital debt like:
