House Bill 908 amends the Family Code to require the court in a suit for dissolution of a marriage, if the trier of fact determines that a spouse has committed actual or constructive fraud on the community, to calculate the value by which the community estate was depleted as a result of the fraud, calculate the amount of the reconstituted estate, and divide the value of the reconstituted estate between the parties in a manner the court deems just and right. The bill authorizes a court to grant any legal or equitable relief necessary to accomplish a just and right division of a reconstituted estate.
