California is a community property state. The court is mandated to first make a factual determination whether property is community, separate, or mixed, then divide the community property equally between the spouses and confirm each party’s separate property to that person.
Although it sounds simple, the division of property in a California divorce can be one of the most complex areas of civil litigation in the California courts. Our office has the years of experience and expertise to apply the complex rules of law and evidence to effectively present your case to the opposing party and, if necessary, to the court.
Let us help you understand the law as it applies to your case, so you can understand the issues and resolve your case in a way the law allows. To be uninformed, or to try to settle your case without understanding how the law applies to you, can be a very costly mistake, and one you may later regret.
