Community property in the State of California
California is a community property state meaning that the property will be divided in 50-50 between the two spouses. If there was property owned prior to the marriage or if payments were made before property became “community property” then it will not necessarily be divided equally.
Basic marriage and division of assets
It is important to work with an attorney who can properly assess your income, assets and rights to separate or community property. We will take a comprehensive approach to your case to protect your financial security and rights before, during, and after a divorce proceeding.
Complex property and asset division
Our attorney has extensive experience in the division of assets, including complex property division cases involving business ownership, real estate, and 401k’s and retirement accounts. Business ownership involves an assessment of cash flow, the value of the business, and requires an analysis of ownership and investment in the business. Where necessary, we work with forensic accountants, private investigators, and other experts who can help to identify your property interests and protect your rights in the division of marital assets.
