COMMUNITY PROPERTY DIVISION

Nearly every divorce case will involve property division. Unfortunately, this is also one of the most difficult issues for many divorcing couples. I understand all of the complex laws that govern property division in the state of California, and I can help you make sure your property division is fair.

Understanding Community Property

California state law deems any property acquired during the marriage to be community property, which means both spouses own it equally. The law requires that this property be split evenly between the two parties. This does not mean that each item must be divided, but the value of property awarded to each spouse must be equal.


Keep in mind that some property acquired during the marriage may be an exception to this rule. For example, gifts and inheritances given to only one spouse may not be considered community property. Because these rules are so complicated, having an experienced lawyer on your side is recommended.
