Complex Property Division
Texas is a community property state, but dividing marital assets can become complicated when there are business interests, retirement accounts, real estate holdings, or commingled assets. We help clients by:
- Identifying and categorizing community versus separate property
- Valuing complex assets such as investments, businesses, and intellectual property
- Negotiating fair and equitable distribution of property and debts
- Addressing hidden or undisclosed assets through forensic investigations
Bankruptcy and Divorce
Financial struggles often accompany divorce, and in some cases, bankruptcy becomes a necessary consideration. Attorney Wong helps clients understand how bankruptcy affects divorce, including:
- Timing of filing for bankruptcy in relation to divorce proceedings
- Division of debts and dischargeable obligations
- Protecting exempt property and minimizing financial disruption
Spousal Support (Alimony)
Determining whether spousal maintenance is appropriate can be one of the most contested aspects of divorce. Brandon Wong & Associates provides guidance by:
- Seeking or defending against spousal support requests
- Calculating appropriate maintenance based on Texas law
- Modifying or enforcing existing spousal support orders
Contested Divorce
In a contested divorce, spouses disagree on key issues like child custody, property division, or support. Attorney Wong assists clients by:
- Preparing strong legal arguments and evidence for court
- Representing clients in mediation, negotiation, and litigation

Uncontested Divorce
For couples who agree on all major issues, an uncontested divorce offers a more cost-effective and efficient resolution. Brandon Wong helps clients:

- File all necessary court documents correctly

- Protection of high-value assets and business interests
- Strategic planning to minimize financial risks
Senior Divorce (Gray Divorce)
Divorce later in life raises unique concerns, including retirement planning, health care, and long-term financial stability. Brandon Wong assists seniors with:
- Dividing retirement accounts and pensions
- Addressing Social Security and Medicare considerations
- Crafting spousal support agreements that provide financial security
Divorce FAQs
Answer: Texas follows community property laws, meaning most assets acquired during a marriage are divided equitably, but not necessarily equally.
Answer: This is considered a contested divorce. A judge will decide unresolved issues such as property division, child custody, and spousal support after hearing evidence from both sides.
Answer: Spousal support is not automatic. When making decisions, the court weighs issues such as the length of the marriage and each spouse's financial earning power, and contributions to the household when determining if support is appropriate.
Answer: Texas law requires a minimum 60-day waiting period from the date the divorce petition is filed. Contested divorces often take several months to resolve.
Answer: A high net worth divorce typically involves significant financial assets, business interests, or complex investments that require advanced legal and financial analysis.
Answer: Retirement savings are often divided in divorce. Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) may be necessary to split pensions and 401(k)s without tax penalties.
