As you begin the process of obtaining
your divorce, dividing the property acquired
during the marriage can be one of the most
contentious issues. All assets and debts
must be disclosed to the other spouse, so it
can be determined whether they are either
community or separate property.
Additionally, there may be assets that are
unknown to a spouse. In your divorce,
decisions will be made regarding all assets
such as contributions made by either party
to purchasing a home, contributions to
retirement or money market accounts, a
business the family may own or other issues
such as taxes. As your family law attorney,
I am able to review all your financial
matters and those of your spouse to
accurately determine what are community
assets and debts, and what are the separate
assets and debts. As your attorney, I will
make sure that your property rights are
clearly established and work in developing
an agreement representing your interests and
priorities to the greatest degree possible.
Any asset or debt can be divided as part of
the overall final property settlement.
Dividing the community property interest in
a home, retirement account or even credit
card debt can be difficult and should be
carried out in a careful manner. As an
attorney with experience in Family law, I
can help you organize your thoughts to aid
in establishing what are your priorities so
that a fair property division can be
obtained I have helped many clients through
aspect of divorce. |
