Separate property is not subject to division at the time of divorce unless you added her name to the property or otherwise signed something agreeing to give her an interest. Since the LLC was created during the marriage, your wife is entitled to half the value of your interest.

In most cases, if a husband operates a business as a sole proprietorship, he is personally liable for the business debts. This means that his personal assets, including joint assets with his wife, may be at risk if the business is unable to meet its financial obligations.

In the Lone Star State, the community property law implies that assets, including businesses acquired during the marriage, are deemed as 'community property' and are thus subject to division upon divorce. This even includes the appreciation in business value during the marriage period.

In general, ERISA does not cover plans established or maintained by governmental entities, churches for their employees, or plans which are maintained solely to comply with applicable workers compensation, unemployment or disability laws.

Any funds contributed to the 401(k) account during the marriage are marital property and subject to division during the divorce, unless there is a valid prenuptial agreement in place. If your spouse also has a retirement account worth a similar amount, you may each decide to keep your own accounts.

One strategy to protect your 401(k) is negotiating a settlement that allows you to retain your retirement account in exchange for other assets. For example, you might offer your spouse a larger share of the home's equity or other investments.

Most courts will give a fair and equitable split (most times, 50/50) on all assets acquired after marriage. That includes the 401(k) for either of you but it could also depend on what the distribution of assets is. If she keeps all the equity in the house, you may keep all the 401(k).

Any part of a spouse's business interest that qualifies as marital property may get divided under the community property system. When the court finds that a spouse's business interest qualifies as marital property, the court must then place a value on the business as a whole and the spouse's ownership interest.

In a Texas divorce, you could be entitled to half of your husband's 401k, depending on whether contributions to the retirement account were made before or after you married.
