Sloan v. Sloan, 02-23-00361-CV (Tex. App. Oct 17, 2024)
Outcome: We have sustained Wife's first issue, overruled her second issue, and overruled all of the sub-issues of her third issue with the exception of the sub-issues concerning closing costs and attorney's fees, which we have sustained. Those holdings require us to reverse the portion of the divorce decree relating to the division of the parties' property-specifically including the trial court's award of attorney's fees-and we remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. We affirm the remainder of the divorce decree.
