		<description><![CDATA[In a July 31, 2009 opinion by the Dallas Court of Appeals, it was confirmed that Federal law trumps Texas law when it comes to income tax issues.  In In re S.L.M., the mother brought child custody proceedings against father.  The district court appointed mother and father as joint managing conservators and awarded mother the right to claim the children as exemptions on her federal income tax return. On appeal, father contended the district court erred in awarding mother the right to claim the two children as tax exemptions.  In re S.L.M., ___ S.W.3d ___, No. 05-08-01277-CV, 2009 WL 2343264 (Tex. App. - Dallas July 31, 2009, no pet. h.).]]></description>

The decline in house values means that the ratio of equity to debt is lower and the asset division is lower as well.  The same goes with division of retirement or brokerage accounts that hold stock or bonds.   The overall value of those accounts is lower, resulting in a smaller overall division of the estate. ]]></description>
