DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW ARE ALL WE DO
Division of Property
Experienced Property Division You Can Trust
California is a community property state, which means that all income and assets earned by a husband and wife during a marriage are deemed to be owned equally by the spouses. In practice, however, the division of property between spouses can be much more complex than just a straight 50-50 split. An experienced California divorce attorney can help you ensure you get what’s equitable and fair.
At the Law Firm of Grant E. Bayerle, APC, we understand that when marital assets are divided in divorce, the stakes can be extremely high, especially if the assets are significant or complex. To ensure you receive everything you are entitled to, it’s important to put your case in the hands of an experienced divorce lawyer as soon as possible.
Property Settlement In Divorce
Valuation of complex assets is one of the most contested areas of divorce. Examples of complex assets include:
- Closely held or family businesses
- Professional practices
- Real estate investments
- Highly compensated executives
- Assets that are owned with other people
- Intellectual property such as patents, copyrights, and trademarks
- Assets held in trust or that have tax implications for early distribution
- Unique assets such as collectible cars and jewelry
- Stock options, restricted stock options, deferred income, bonuses, and executive compensation
- Separate property that has been commingled with marital property
- Separate property that includes marital property contributions
- Inheritances, gifts, and trusts
