Clients who come to us, after using larger law firms, often complain that those bigger law firms seem to be more focused on generating fees, than providing effective and efficient representation. They tell us stories of enduring too many long, in-person interviews and meetings with various staff members (which they are charged for); being provided, and billed for, detailed written information about Texas Property Law, most of which does not even apply to the facts of their own case; vast amounts of discovery requests (such as oral depositions and subpoenas of non-parties) being generated and billed for) at the beginning of the case—instead of first narrowing the case to determine if formal discovery is needed or desirable; and if so, which forms of discovery would work best for your case.

We will discuss the first of those today. We will discuss possession issues later.

Previously, we wrote about Premarital Property Agreements. We noted there that Texas law broadly supports Marital Property Agreements. Today we will discuss agreements entered into during a marriage, instead of before marrying.

The Texas family Code states that “At any time, the spouses may partition (divide-up) or exchange (trade) all or part of their community property, then existing, or to be acquired, as the spouses may desire. Property or a property interest transferred to a spouse becomes that spouse’s separate property.
