O [have an active protective order or an active magistrate’s order for emergency protection against

spouse committed family violence.
11 Property and Debt
Note: It is very important to talk with lawyer if you or your spouse has a house, land, business, retirement funds, .
other valuable property or debt. Getting advice from a lawyer now can save you time and money in the long run.
About community property: Texas is a community property state. This means that any new property that either
spouse gets from the minute they are married until the minute the judge grants the divorce is probably community
property, even if the property is only in one spouse's name.
About separate property: Property owned by a spouse before the marriage is that spouse's separate property.
In addition, if either spouse receives a gift, an inheritance, or a recovery for personal iinjuries that occurred duri
the marriage (not including a recovery for lost wages or medical expenses); it is that spouse's separate property.
There are exceptions to these general rules. If you have questions talk to a lawyer.
About retirement: Retirement funds (such as 401k, pension, profit sharing, stock option plans and IRAs) earned
by either spouse during the marriage are usually considered to be community property that can be divided by the
court. This is true even if you or your spouse has not yet retired. If you want the Court to divide retirement funds
(other than an IRA), you will need to have the Court sign an additional form, usually called a “Qualified Domestic
Relations Order” (QDRO), to make the division effective. You should have the QDRO prepared before you ga to
court, so the judge can sign it when you finish your divorce. A QDRO form is not included with this divorce set.
You may be able to get a sample QDRO form from the employer or retirement fund administrator. If not, you
should hire a lawyer to draft the QDRO form. If you use the employer or retirement fund administrator's QDRO
form, you should still have a lawyer review it to make sure you are not giving up important benefits. Note: If you
and your spouse plan to keep your own retirement funds or do not have retirement funds, you do not need a
QDR‘
About debt: A creditor's right to collect a debt is not affected by a divorce decree. So, if the Court orders your
spouse to pay a debt (such as a mortgage) that is in both of your names but your spouse doesn't pay it, the
creditor can still seek payment from you. Ask a lawyer how to protect yourself in this situation,
141A. Community Property and Debt
If my spouse and | can agree about how to divide the property and debts we got during our marriage, | ask
the Court to approve our agreement. If we cannot agree, ] ask the Court to divide our community property
and debts according to Texas law.
11B. Separate Property
| own the fallowing separate property. | owned this property before | was married or | received this property
as a gift or inheritance during my marriage or | received this property as recovery for personal injuries that
occurred during the marriage (not including any recovery for lost wages or medical expenses). | ask the
Court to confirm this property as my separate property.
(Fill in all lines. If you have no property to list in a particular category, write “none.”)

Getting advice from a lawyer now can save you time and money in the long run. About community property: Texas is a community property state. This means that any new property that either spouse gets from the minute they are married until the minute the judge grants the divorce is probably community property, even if the property is only in one spouse's name. About separate property: Property owned by a spouse before the marriage is that spouse's separate property. In addition, if either spouse receives a gift, an inheritance, or a recovery for personal iinjuries that occurred duri the marriage (not including a recovery for lost wages or medical expenses); it is that spouse's separate property. There are exceptions to these general rules. If you have questions talk to a lawyer. About retirement: Retirement funds (such as 401k, pension, profit sharing, stock option plans and IRAs) earned by either spouse during the marriage are usually considered to be community property that can be divided by the court. This is true even if you or your spouse has not yet retired. If you want the Court to divide retirement funds (other than an IRA), you will need to have the Court sign an additional form, usually called a “Qualified Domestic Relations Order” (QDRO), to make the division effective. You should have the QDRO prepared before you ga to court, so the judge can sign it when you finish your divorce. A QDRO form is not included with this divorce set. You may be able to get a sample QDRO form from the employer or retirement fund administrator. If not, you should hire a lawyer to draft the QDRO form. If you use the employer or retirement fund administrator's QDRO form, you should still have a lawyer review it to make sure you are not giving up important benefits. Note: If you and your spouse plan to keep your own retirement funds or do not have retirement funds, you do not need a QDR‘ About debt: A creditor's right to collect a debt is not affected by a divorce decree. So, if the Court orders your spouse to pay a debt (such as a mortgage) that is in both of your names but your spouse doesn't pay it, the creditor can still seek payment from you. Ask a lawyer how to protect yourself in this situation, 141A. Community Property and Debt If my spouse and | can agree about how to divide the property and debts we got during our marriage, | ask the Court to approve our agreement. If we cannot agree, ] ask the Court to divide our community property and debts according to Texas law. 11B. Separate Property | own the fallowing separate property. | owned this property before | was married or | received this property as a gift or inheritance during my marriage or | received this property as recovery for personal injuries that occurred during the marriage (not including any recovery for lost wages or medical expenses). | ask the Court to confirm this property as my separate property.
