Community Property

Understanding and Considerate Los Angeles Community Property Lawyer

In California, the general presumption is that all property acquired during a marriage is community property, and should be split equally following a divorce. The same presumption applies to marital debts; any liabilities incurred during the marriage should also be split equally following a divorce. The process of identifying what truly is community property and dividing it can be very difficult. Over the course of a marriage assets can become mixed. A separate asset may be used to acquire a portion of a community asset. Identifying and valuing community property can be hotly contested, and can lead to costly and time-consuming litigation.
