Marital Property Division
Upland Divorce Attorney
In any
divorce, you and your spouse will have to come to an agreement about the division of marital property and debts. If you do not agree on the details of this issue, it will be determined by the courts. California is a community property state, which means that the assets and property will be divided in as equal and fair a manner as possible. For assistance with this matter, we recommend that you contact the
Upland divorce lawyer at the Law Office of Christine D. Thielo as soon as possible. In a free, initial 30-minute consultation, you can discuss your property division concerns and get a case evaluation as to where you stand and what to expect under California law.
Division of Assets and Debts in a Divorce
Several steps will be required in order to resolve this issue in a contested divorce. First of all, all of your property and assets will have to be distinguished as to whether they are marital or separate property. After this, the property will need to be appraised or valued. Then the courts can divide the marital property and assets as evenly as possible, taking into consideration all of the pertinent facts concerning the property and the case involved.
Separate property is generally property that was acquired before the marriage took place or was acquired as a gift or inheritance to one of the spouses during the marriage. Marital property includes real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, stocks and bonds, art, jewelry, profits and earnings from a business, and other valuables acquired during the marriage. In this matter, spouses have a duty to disclose to the other the existence, characterization, and value of all marital property in any divorce.
In any marital property dispute, you will need reliable and capable legal representation. The Upland divorce attorney at the firm offers determined and aggressive legal assistance to clients in and around Glendora as well as the surrounding areas of western San Bernardino County and eastern Los Angeles County.
