Sugar Land Property Division Attorney

If your ex contests the division of property and debt, or if they refuse to follow the division laid out in your final divorce agreement, you do have legal options. Before your divorce decree is signed by the judge, your attorney will work diligently to ensure your property and debts are split evenly, per Texas’s community property rules. We will argue your side of the story and ensure your voice is heard throughout your contested case. More importantly, we provide a level head and a sympathetic ear when you are facing an emotionally taxing legal battle.

If your ex refuses to comply with your court order after it has been signed by the judge, we will take them to court to help you get what you are owed. This is known as enforcement and it involves bring a suit against your ex by filing a motion for enforcement in the court where your divorce originally took place. There is a two-year statute of limitations, after which a suit may not be filed, so it is important that work quickly if your spouse is not complying with your divorce order.

Should your ex still not comply, a motion for delivery of property can be filed and any further noncompliance will be met with financial penalties, jail time, or other punishments, as your ex will then be held in contempt of court.
