Amanda Bradshaw, Petitioner v. Barney Samuel Bradshaw, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for the trial court to reconsider the division of the community estate, holding that awarding the abusive spouse any interest in the marital home is not "just and right" as a matter of law. The Court applied an abuse‑of‑discretion standard and emphasized that fault may be considered but cannot be used to punish the spouse at fault.
