What is an equitable distribution of assets?

An equitable distribution of assets in a Texas Collaborative Divorce Law is when assets are divided fairly between the two spouses. The process includes identifying all assets and liabilities and assigning a fair and reasonable value to them. This could include investments, real estate, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and any other type of asset or item of value that the couple has. The goal in an equitable distribution of assets is to divide the assets in a way that each spouse receives a fair and equal share of the total asset pool. This may be done through a direct transfer of assets from one spouse to the other, or through the sale of assets and an equal division of the proceeds. Generally, the court will order each spouse to make disclosure of financial and tax information before an equitable distribution agreement can be reached. In a Collaborative Divorce arrangement, the spouses may choose to negotiate and agree on an equitable distribution of assets through a collaborative process. This can include financial professionals who use investment strategies, taxation experts, and dispute resolution experts who can help the spouses negotiate and reach an agreement. In the majority of Collaborative Divorce cases, the spouses voluntarily reach an agreement, and the court will only intervene in extraordinary circumstances.
