🏠 When it comes to divorce in Texas, the notion of "I earn it, I keep it" is a common misconception.
👩💼 Even if you’re the breadwinner and your spouse is a stay-at-home parent, Texas law views both parties as contributing equally to the household.
💰 This means that any income earned during the marriage is considered community property, with each spouse entitled to a 50% share.
🤝 Community income, including your earnings, is subject to division just like any other asset during divorce proceedings.
⚖️ In cases where there’s a significant income disparity, the courts may order spousal maintenance to ensure both parties are financially supported post-divorce.
🔄 So, contrary to popular belief, simply bringing home the paycheck doesn’t guarantee sole ownership of your earnings in a divorce settlement.
