Property Division in California

California is a community property state. Any assets acquired during your marriage or handled as joint assets are subject to an equitable distribution. Divorce attorney Frank J. Prainito consults financial experts in the division of assets to determine the extent of the community property, including:

• Family home
• Real estate investments
• Retirement benefits
• Stock, bonds, and other investments

Any assets you owned before getting married are considered separate property. You will maintain all of your separate property, unless you combined any of your assets with your marital estate. In this case, the assets would be divided equitably between you and your former spouse.

This does not necessarily mean a 50-50 split. For example, if you or your ex-spouse has more earning potential, the spouse with less earning potential might obtain a greater share of the community property. Divorce attorney, Frank J. Prainito, has extensive experience handling divorces involving substantial assets. He has the skills and tenacity to advocate in your best interests.
