- Child AbuseThe parents are unable to provide a fit home for their children due to incompetence, incarceration, or other debilitating conditions
- Personal InjuryMany people believe that a court in a community property state like Texas must make an equal division of marital property, but it’s not always that simple. The community property concept normally indicates that both parties own an equal share of all property that either of them obtained during their marriage regardless of whose name is on the title. If one partner proves separate ownership of certain property, the court is required to award that property to the claimant. Property owned prior to the marriage, inherited property, gifts, and proceeds of personal injury claims are some examples of separate property.
