Orange County Property
Division Lawyer
California follows community property guidelines when addressing the division of assets, debts and real property. Typically, property and assets accumulated during the course of your marriage are considered community property and eligible for division. Separate property is not typically divided and includes assets:
- Brought into the marriage
- Received as inheritances
- Received as gifts
- Received after the date of your separation
