Dividing Property in Divorce

What Does Community Property Mean?

California is what is known as a “community property” state. In other words, all assets, property, and debts obtained during the marriage will be viewed as community property. This means that it can be split up between the two spouses; however, it doesn’t mean it will be split up “equally” in all cases. California courts follow what is known as equitable division, which leans more towards what is fair.

The court will consider the following factors when dividing property:

• What each spouse contributed to the marriage (financially, emotionally, etc.)
• The earning potential or current income of each spouse
• Any spousal support agreements being put into place
• Whether or not a spouse tried to hide property or assets

These are just a few of elements that could impact your property division case. On top of that, community and separate property must be identified to ensure the division is completely fair and equitable. If some marital assets were left of out of the mix, you could be given far less than what you deserve. Having a Rancho Cucamonga divorce lawyer by your side during this time is crucial.
