The court in a Texas divorce case must divide property in a just and right way.\u00a0 This does not necessarily mean that property is divided equally between the parties, but the division must be just.\u00a0 What happens, though, when only one party participates in the divorce proceedings?\u00a0 A Texas appeals court<\/a> recently found that the trial court had to have sufficient evidence of the property values to divide the property justly.<\/p>\n
