Division of Property

Division of property is key to working through a divorce

Division of property is perhaps the most fundamental aspect of every divorce. A final divorce decree must detail who receives ownership of the house, the car, the boat, the vacation home, stocks and bank accounts and retirement funds.

Equitable Distribution of Assets

Although California is a community property state, other factors such as the length of the marriage, assets that each spouse brought into the marriage and well as any community property obtained jointly during the marriage, must be considered in order to accomplish a proper distribution of assets .

Full Financial Disclosure

Divorce means full financial disclosure — under penalty of perjury — of the assets owned by each spouse. Property division may be more complex in some cases than others. When, for example, either or both spouses own a business, a formal business valuation is crucial. The Maggio Law Firm works with forensic accountants to obtain an accurate and complete financial picture.

Settlement Negotiations

Once a full financial accounting is completed, the parties may negotiate. The one thing that most divorcing couples must understand is that, aside from money, their marital property cannot be literally cut in half. For some types of assets, one person may take sole ownership of one piece of property in exchange for other assets of similar value, such as stocks, pensions or retirement accounts in order to accomplish an equalization of assets and debts.
