Orange County Asset Division Lawyer
Asset division is typically one of the most contentious parts of a divorce proceeding. As a community property state, California law requires that any asset that was obtained or any debt taken on during the marriage is considered the couple’s joint property and should be included in the division. Property considered marital property will be divided equally between the parties.
Marital property can include everything from homes, land and cars to pension plans, IRAs and stock options. In addition, debts like mortgages, loans, credit cards and others need to be identified and divided. As you can see, asset division matters can become very complex very quickly. It is critical that you have skillful, aggressive legal representation of a Orange County asset division lawyer on your side to ensure that your interests are protected.
Anaheim Asset Division Attorney
At the law firm of Holstrom, Sissung, Marks & Anderson, APLC, we help clients throughout Orange County and Anaheim to resolve all types of complex asset division matters. We will determine what constitutes your marital property and what is separate. In California, any property obtained by inheritance, gift or any property acquired prior to the marriage is typically considered separate property. However, separate property can become marital property under certain circumstances. For instance, if you used inheritance money to put your spouse through graduate school or to remodel your shared home, the inheritance has become commingled with marital property losing its separate property designation.

At the beginning of the process we will work with you to fully understand your goals and expectations, devise a plan of action and do everything we can to reach them.
