“affords the trial court wide latitude and discretion in dividing the community estate of the parties upon dissolution of their marriage.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“I feel compelled to suggest that this Court adopt a legal standard that does not revolve around a factual finding of fraud for divorce cases in which a business would be classified as a sole proprietorship but for the fact of incorporation. This is obviously one of the “exceptional situations” referred to in Pace Corp. v. Jackson, 155 Tex. 179 , 284 S.W.2d 840 (1955).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. Zisblatt v. Zisblatt“I would hold that in a divorce case where a non-owner spouse proves that a spouse’s time, talent, and toil are primarily responsible for the increase in the value of a business operated as a corporation, the increase in the value is community property, even though a business or a part thereof is separate property. [Footnotes omitted.]”
