The Property Division Process

Many people do not fully understand the concept of community property. Under California community property law, all assets and debts acquired during the marriage are supposed to be divided equally. The major problems in the process come in identifying and tracing the transformation of separate assets into marital assets. A good example of this is when a married couple pool savings earned before the marriage to buy a house.

Maida V. Farrar has advised and represented numerous clients in property division matters. She understands how to identify and value assets including real estate, personal property and retirement assets such as pensions, 401-Ks and IRAs. When necessary, Ms. Farrar can call upon skilled appraisers and accountants who can provide guidance in these matters.

Complex Property Division

Our firm also has experience in complex property division matters involving family-owned businesses, large marital estates and military pensions. We can identify the key issues in these cases and will work systematically to value these assets, possibly using business valuation specialists and others who can provide critical insights.

Other problems can arise when a key marital asset such as a house has negative equity. In cases such as these, we work with real estate professionals and bankruptcy attorneys to develop a solution that preserves assets and that allows our client to move forward after the divorce in the best position possible.
