Protecting Clients Who Are Victims of Domestic Violence

According to statistics reported in the Handbook on Family Violence, domestic assault is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 14-45 years old. In the U.S. every year, battering results in more injuries than car accidents and violent sexual assaults combined. As much as 20% of all domestic assaults involve the use of a handgun or other weapon by the abuser. One quarter of the female victims of reported domestic attacks are pregnant at the time of the battering. We vigorously protect victims of domestic abuse; your safety matters to us.

What is the difference between Community Property and Separate Property in California?

Almost any property, debt or asset that you and your spouse obtained during your marriage is considered joint or "community property." This property belongs to both you and your spouse and must be divided during your divorce.

Property that you acquired before your marriage and certain gifts/inheritances that you receive during marriage is considered separate property and is legally yours to keep.

How is Community Property Divided in a California Divorce?

Under California law, community property must be divided "equally." Unless you can come to an agreement about the property, the court will split it in a way that gives each spouse an equal "net value" (financially equal). The court rarely comes to a decision that is better than an agreement between the parties in a divorce.

Our lawyers will first try to help you and your spouse come to a mutually satisfactory agreement about property division through mediation or other alternative dispute resolution techniques. If that is not possible, we are experienced trial attorneys and we vigorously protect your rights in family court.
