Austin High-Asset Divorce Attorney

Our Highly Experienced Austin-based Attorneys Are Ready to Help Divorce Cases, Including High-value Assets

It can take a lot more time and effort to navigate divorce proceedings involving substantial assets. 

Attempting to hurry the divorce process in Austin can result in hasty decisions you may regret later.

Failing to uncover hidden assets can diminish your settlement and leave you without assets that are rightfully yours once your divorce has been finalized. 

The experienced Austin high asset divorce attorneys at our law firm can help you focus on the ultimate goal of making sure you are financially protected.

Our lawyers can help with assets issues involving:

• Property and debt division
• Business valuation
• Hidden Assets
• Retirement Accounts
• Waste Claims
• Child custody
• Alimony
• Child support

One of the main issues and sources of disagreement in many high-asset divorces is categorizing property and assets as either community property or separate property.

We can help you safeguard your personal wealth and protect your fair share of the marital assets so that you can move forward to the next chapter of your life without worrying about financial security in the future.

Can My Spouse Make Me Pay Her Divorce Attorney Fees in Texas?

Yes, in Texas, a judge may order one spouse to pay the other's divorce attorney fees in certain circumstances. The Texas judge will consider the financial status of both parties and may order the higher-earning spouse to pay the other spouse's fees if they make more money than the other. 

The judge may also consider if one spouse has made the divorce more difficult or costly, such as hiding assets, not complying with discovery requests, or defying the judge's orders.

Can My Wife Take My Inheritance in a Divorce in Texas?

An inheritance received during the marriage in Texas is generally not up for grabs in a divorce. Since Texas is a community property state, most assets are split equitably during a divorce. However, inheritances are considered separate property, not marital property, and are not subject to division.
