Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses post-divorce division of undivided community property by granting the original divorce court continuing exclusive jurisdiction. This is a procedural change in family law that can indirectly affect property division outcomes between former spouses but does not alter substantive rules on custody, parenting time, child support, paternity, alimony amounts/duration, or domestic-violence presumptions. It is therefore tagged neutral under custody-support/other and custody-support/alimony (as property division often occurs alongside alimony considerations in Texas family law). No on
