Informed Guidance for You and Your Family

As a community property state, California has strict guidelines for calculating who gets what in the division of marital property. The same laws apply whether you are going through your first divorce or you have been divorced before. However, if you are going through a second or third divorce, you may have taken additional steps to protect your property rights, or you may have assets from a previous marriage that complicate matters.
The first step is to look at the law and determine how the court would divide your property at first blush. Next, we will take a closer look at your unique situation and determine if there are any ways to stray from the guidelines. If you have a prenuptial agreement, we will determine its validity and use that as the primary guide for property division. Before it is time for negotiation, we will have a plan for the following:
- Tax consequences
- Asset protection
- Marital property
- Mortgage considerations
- New spouse income
