Division of Marital Debt
People facing divorce in Texas often forget that debt accumulated over the duration of the marriage is likely to be considered marital property, subject to equitable distribution between the divorcing spouses. Texas is a no-fault divorce state. Even if one party shares substantial blame for the divorce, the other spouse cannot necessarily avoid all responsibility for the accumulated debt.
