Divorce in Los Angeles: Division of Marital Property
Los Angeles Divorce Lawyer
Are you planning to divorce? Many times one of the most difficult agreements to work out with a spouse during a divorce is the fair division of marital property. Under the state’s communal property laws, any
assets or debts accumulated during a marriage must be fairly distributed when spouses legally end their marriage. A
Los Angeles divorce lawyer from Mansouri Law Offices can give you sound advice regarding the distribution of marital property. We are a boutique
family law firm that has extensive divorce case experience. Our firm provides skilled
mediation services to help you and your spouse create asset division, support and custody agreements, and can be relied on for strong representation at your divorce hearing.
Community Property in Divorce Proceedings
Communal property is any property or debt acquired during a marriage, excluding gifts and inheritances. When a couple divorces, their marital property must be equitably divided, regardless of how the property was acquired or who earned it. This can include assets such as:
- A business or partnership
- Real property
- Rental and investment property
- Retirement accounts, IRAs
- Stocks, bonds and mutual funds
- Automobiles
- Jewelry
- Household furnishings
- Bank accounts
Our firm will locate hidden property, protect non-marital property and provide qualified representation at your divorce hearing. When necessary, we will hire forensic accounting experts to ensure all assets are identified, as well as properly cataloged and valued. Correctly identify and valuating assets can be extremely important to the outcome of high net worth divorce cases. We are dedicated to protecting your rights and interests, and will provide professional representation throughout the entire
divorce process.
