Bill History
Bill Text

Relevance:  This bill applies only to suits for dissolution of a marriage.  It provides additional remedies in cases where fraud on the community occurred.  As originally filed and as passed by the House, the bill defined "fraud on the community" in a way that could have caused problems in the administration of decedents' estates.  As finally passed, the definition was removed, making it just about remedies in a divorce.

See "Bill may codify 'fraud on the community,' at least in divorces" on texasprobate.com.
