When divorce involves substantial assets or complicated financial holdings, property division becomes far more than a simple accounting exercise—it becomes a high-stakes negotiation that can shape your financial future for years to come. Business ownership, investment portfolios, trusts, stock options, and retirement accounts all require strategic handling and expert legal guidance.
At the Law Offices of John B. Polk, we specialize in navigating the most complex aspects of marital property division in Texas. With years of experience representing high-net-worth individuals, executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals, John understands how to protect your financial interests while helping you avoid costly mistakes.
In Texas, property is classified as either community or separate, but determining the true nature of assets—especially those acquired over time, held in trusts, or commingled—can be challenging. The distinction is critical: it affects how assets are divided and whether certain holdings are shielded from division altogether.

-
Business and investment valuations, including closely held companies and family partnerships
-
Trusts, trust income, and related disputes
-
Creative settlement strategies that preserve assets and minimize litigation

Protection of separate property, such as pre-marital assets, inheritances, and retirement accounts
