A: In divorce proceedings, it is usually required that the spouses exchange a sworn Inventory & Appraisement early in the case. A form is available in Section 7 of Volume 1 of the Texas Family Law Practice Manual (3rd ed). Your County Law Library should carry this Manual. The librarian can help you locate the Manual and show you how to make a copy of the form, but cannot assist you in completing your I&A (that would be the unauthorized practice of law). The form itself is fairly detailed and requires a lot of information, but it is perfectly straightforward.

If you have questions about what property is included in your marital estate, whether it is separate or community, or whether you have any equitable contribution or reimbursement claims, you really need to hire an attorney who practices in the area of family law to assist you.
