in Texas we do what is called a fair and
00:07
equitable division of the community of
00:09
state the presumption is that it will be
00:12
a 50/50 division of property however
00:15
what the court will do is take into
00:17
consideration how the property is titled
00:21
and who has the ability to pay for that
00:23
for example if a car is in the husband’s
00:26
name more likely than not the husband
00:28
will be awarded that vehicle and the
00:31
debt thereon if the house is titled in
00:35
both spouses names then the court will
00:37
have to make a decision on who will be
00:39
awarded the house and normally one party
00:41
will be awarded the debt or the mortgage
00:44
on that property
