Property Division

San Francisco Bay Area Property Division Attorney

In California, community property laws dictate that marital assets and debts are generally going to be divided on a 50/50 basis. Although this seems fairly straightforward, identifying and locating all of the assets and debts, determining which ones are marital property, and then determining the exact value of a property or other marital asset is where property division becomes complicated.
