Property Distribution In The Woodlands Divorce Cases
Dividing marital property is necessary for every divorce. While there are some assets that are the exclusive property of one spouse, the vast majority of assets owned by a couple are shared, and tough choices will often have to be made. The same is true of most marital debts. Something very important to remember is that the divorce order assigns property and debt in terms of obligations between the couple, not between the spouse or spouses who incurred the debt and the lender. Additional steps may be necessary to protect you from a messy post-dissolution debt situation.
Our The Woodlands divorce lawyers at Griffin & Cain, Attorney at Law, PC, know the pitfalls inherent in a sloppy property division and are prepared to do everything possible to protect you from future headaches. We can handle all aspects of your divorce case.
Types Of Property
Community property is comprised of those assets and debts acquired during the marriage, either jointly or by one party, other than by a gift or inheritance to one spouse. The standard division of this property is half to each spouse. Many factors can change the percentage of division, however, and the high variability in how any couple lived out their marriage provides for many different ways to arrive at a disproportionate division. Separate property is roughly comprised of those assets owned by a spouse before the marriage, as well as gifts to one spouse and inheritances received during the marriage.

A Few Words From Satisfied Clients
Robert works hard and is passionate about what he does. I can't think of anyone I'd rather have on my side in a courtroom.
I've been fortunate enough to be able to consult with Robert Griffin on a variety of legal issues over the years and I've always received very sober and realistic consul. He's an excellent communicator and I feel like I have a clear understanding of my legal rights, and obligations, every time we speak, and never feel like I'm being talked down to when he explains the law to me. Robert and his partners will always be my first call for any legal situation and I recommend them wholeheartedly for any legal service required.
This firm is everything you want when dealing with legal matters—professional, knowledgeable, and deeply caring. They guided me through the process step by step, making sure I understood all my options. Robert Griffin is an excellent attorney, his communication was clear and timely, and I always felt like I had a strong advocate on my side. Whether it’s family law or criminal defense, they approach every case with integrity and determination. I left every interaction feeling reassured and confident that I was in the best possible hands. Highly recommend.
I can’t thank this law firm enough for the way they treated me—with compassion, respect, and dedication. Legal issues can be overwhelming, but their team made me feel supported and informed every step of the way. They listened carefully, answered my questions, and fought hard for the best outcome. It’s rare to find professionals who not only excel in their field but also genuinely care about their clients. I would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable family or criminal law representation.
I worked with Mike Griffin on my divorce and I have nothing but great things to say about them. I have had bad experiences with attorneys in the past, continuously asking for more money anytime I was current with them. i had no such experience here. Mr. Griffin spoke to me extensively on the phone for a first consultation, represented me well, and then even helped me with splitting my 401K which ended up being quite a to-do. And his firm never even asked for more to help with the 401K even though it ended up taking quite a bit of their time and resources. i also love his paralegals who were lovely, knowledgeable and very responsive. I highly recommend Mr. Griffin to anyone for any family law
Although we did not achieve the outcome we had hoped for, I am incredibly grateful to John Herbig and the entire team at Griffin, Cain & Herbig, Attorneys at Law, PLLC.

He listened closely, advised me wisely, and fought with heart and determination to ensure that our side of the story was heard. He treated me not just as a client, but as someone whose voice and lived experience mattered deeply.
Throughout this difficult journey, John never wavered. His professionalism, responsiveness, and strategic guidance gave me strength and confidence even in the most uncertain moments. He and his team poured countless hours into preparing a case grounded in truth, love, and the best interests of my granddaughter.
Though the final decision was not what we had prayed for, I will always be thankful for the dignity, support, and relentless effort John and his firm gave to our family. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking strong, ethical, and empathetic representation.
With deep appreciation,
