Dallas and San Antonio Property Division Lawyers

The attorneys at McCurley Orsinger McCurley Nelson & Downing L.L.P. have decades of experience crafting such relationships and resolving property division disputes among divorcing couples in Texas.

Affordable Advice on Texas Property and Debt Division Issues

If community property division issues represent the most important problems in your divorce case, contact us in Dallas or San Antonio. You'll find that our fee is more than made up by the value we deliver in the final property division. Some of the best divorce lawyers in Texas practice in our law firm, but you can benefit from their experience and specialized knowledge without paying them by the hour. We can show you how first-class counsel on property division issues can be surprisingly affordable.

During the marriage, much of the property and indebtedness held by the spouses is regarded as marital community property. But Texas law does not require that community property be divided equally between the spouses. It also forbids a court's invasion of a spouse's separate property.

Property Division Solutions Based on Personal Goals and Practical Considerations

Our job as divorce lawyers is to protect your interests and make sure that the community or separate character of the property involved in your case is properly identified at accurate values and based on a complete and candid disclosure of assets, debts and income. Then we go to work to define and accomplish the marital property distribution plan that makes the best sense for your circumstances. We work closely with our clients to help them identify their own priorities and objectives, because they're the ones who need to live with the consequences of these critically important decisions for years to come.

In the more complex range of property division problems, expert analysis is often necessary on both the valuation and characterization issues that the divorcing spouses will need to resolve. Many factors, including uneven professional prospects and earning power, can justify a greater distribution in favor of the financially weaker spouse. If the misconduct of either spouse will be asserted as a reason for a lopsided division of marital assets, however, our skill and experience in divorce litigation will go far toward protecting your interests, no matter which side of that issue you're on.

Most divorcing couples' reasonable property division goals can be achieved through negotiation. If negotiation is unsuccessful, however, we are prepared to go to trial to protect your property rights.

From Our Clients

  • "I call the McCurleys The First Family of Family Law, and I don't consider that an exaggeration. They were so attentive and so caring, while at the same time being excellent, hardball lawyers, that I recommend them to anybody facing a divorce. I wish I hadn't needed to hire a 'divorce lawyer,' but I'm glad they were there for me."
    Molly Ann Huie
