Repealing Reimbursement Law
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009The State Bar of Texas Family Law section plans to ask lawmakers to repeal a portion of the Texas Family Code governing reimbursement to a spouse for community property spent on the separate real property of the other spouse. Critics of the law say it leaves too little discretion to trial judges to decide redistribution of assets in divorces. Most agree that the 2002 law was a good idea that proved too difficult in practice.
