Commonly Asked Questions

How does California law affect property division in a divorce?

California follows community property laws, meaning that most assets acquired during the marriage are considered jointly owned and must be divided equally upon divorce. This includes income, real estate, and personal property. However, separate property, such as assets owned before marriage or received as gifts, is not subject to division. A skilled attorney can help clarify these distinctions and ensure that your rights are upheld throughout the property division process.

How can a property division attorney assist in an uncontested divorce?

A property division attorney plays a crucial role in an uncontested divorce by helping both parties understand their rights and responsibilities regarding asset distribution. In Torrance, these attorneys can facilitate negotiations, ensuring that all marital property, including real estate and retirement accounts, is fairly divided. They can also draft the necessary legal documents to formalize the agreement, reducing the risk of future disputes.
