Property Division

Assets and debts accumulated by a couple during their marriage are generally community property and are divided in a divorce. Inheritances, gifts received during marriage and property acquired before marriage or after separation, are generally the acquiring spouse’s separate property and need not be divided.

Community property law allows for an exactly equal division of community property; however, at times it is difficult or even impossible to divide a particular asset, such as a house. Our attorneys will be able to present you with a variety of options that take into account these indivisible assets and still provide you with an equal overall distribution of property.

FLC attorneys use their negotiation skills to create win-win agreements in their clients’ best interests.
