Is Texas a 50/50 Divorce State?

No, Texas is not a 50/50 divorce state. Instead, the court will divide property in Texas according to "just and right." This means that the court will consider all of the factors involved in the case, including the length of the marriage, the contributions of each spouse to the relationship, and the needs of any children. Therefore, the court may award one spouse more property than the other, but it is also possible to award each spouse an equal share of the property.

The same is valid for child custody. The court will award custody to the parent it believes is in the child's best interests. This means that the court will consider all of the factors involved in the case, including the child's wishes, the parenting abilities of each parent, and the stability of each parent's home. The court may award one sole parent custody of the child, but it is also possible that the court will award joint custody to both parents.
