Many clients come to our law firm extremely worried that the second they get married, their spouse is automatically entitled to half of their wealth- regardless of the duration of the marriage or when they acquired their wealth. As reported in the news, Keyshawn Johnson is getting divorced from his wife after only 7 months of marriage<\/a>. Does this mean he has to give up half of his entire wealth? The short answer is no.<\/p>\n

Division of property in Texas divorce suits is not 50\/50 – Texas law reads that there shall be a just and right division<\/a> of the property. Yes, most Courts believe that should look something like a 50\/50 split, but that does not mean that has to be the case.

Absent a finding of common-law marriage in Texas, his wife would only be entitled to half of any income accumulated during the time of marriage- in this case 7 months. Any money Keyshawn Johnson earned prior to marriage is his separate property<\/a> and not considered in the property division. But, it is important to note that Keyshawn Johnson would have the burden to prove by clear and convincing evidence that any asset he wishes to exclude from a property division is indeed separate in nature.<\/p>\n
