Division of Debt

Division Of Debt In Texas Divorce

While asset division is a critical aspect in divorce, so is division of debt. One of the biggest issues in this respect is how to work through mortgage issues, particularly when both parties are signers. There can be several issues and factors with respect to refinancing, selling, short sales and deed-in-lieu, all of which can be immensely complex.

Ultimately, it is important to protect yourself when splitting debt. Certain assets and liabilities may make more sense to award to one party. All too often, when one spouse isn’t fully aware of a situation, one will try to take advantage of the ignorance and foist debts on to his or her unsuspecting ex. As such, it is extremely important to protect yourself if you are dealing with debt division issues.

For more than four decades, we at the law office of  Mary Quinn have been assisting clients with these issues. We will help you optimize debt with a long-term perspective and look toward the future.
