You’ve worked hard to put money in the bank, save for your future, finance your home, and invest in a strong portfolio. Because of this, is it truly fair to give half or more of these precious assets to your spouse during a divorce simply because your marriage is over?
Protect what’s rightfully yours and ensure the best, fairest outcome by hiring a great property division lawyer today!
A property division lawyer specializes in matters pertaining to the division of property during a divorce. While divorce is often an emotionally-charged time that makes it difficult for us to keep track of things, your property division lawyer ensures your best interests are protected and that property is divided in a fair and equitable matter, whether it is settled during mediation or goes to court.
Having a quality property division lawyer by your side is the best way to ensure you keep what is rightfully yours during a divorce.
Property division law depends on your state. Some states abide by “equitable distribution” while others, including California, follow the principles of “community property.”
Community property states that all property acquired during marriage is owned equally and should therefore be divided equally upon divorce.
What specifically is divided and how it is divided is either decided during mediation or negotiation outside of court or decided by the judge in court. The court may consider the earning capacity and income of each party prior to reaching a decision.
Often the best way to safeguard your property is to settle outside of court, but this is an emotional process that is often easier said than done. Hiring an excellent property division attorney will help during this process.
Hiring a property division lawyer is the best way to guarantee your interests and rights are protected throughout property division and other divorce proceedings. An excellent attorney knows the law and has experience dealing with cases just like yours. For these reasons, they are able to expertly navigate the situation and fight for the best outcome.
The definition of marital property varies depending on what state you live in. In California, marital property is considered as property acquired during the marriage, regardless of whose name is on the actual title. This might include real estate, vehicles, income earned during the marriage, and investments. On the other hand, it might include debt as well.
In community property states, the court will seek to divide all marital property equally.
Virtually all marital property is eligible for division in a divorce. This may include, but is not limited to, real estate, personal property, financial assets, retirement benefits, business interests, income earned during the marriage, and debts too.
