And another satisfied client…
“I want to thank you for saving my life. When my husband left, I thought I would lose everything I had before I was married, including my home. You were recommended to me by another lawyer as someone who would work diligently and relentlessly on my behalf, which you did. I interviewed several lawyers, including a famous, high profile female attorney, who all told me to sell my house and give him half. Others promised me the world. You promised to work very hard to save the home I had owned prior to my marriage, which you did. I am eternally grateful and would recommend you to anyone, especially someone who is going through a very difficult and contested divorce. You are terrific! Thank you.” – MMC
Community Property and Debt
California is a community property state. All property acquired during marriage is ordinarily classified as community property of both spouses unless its acquisition funds are traced to the separate property of one spouse. Community property is divided equally at divorce. Each spouse keeps his or her own separate property, but if separate property increases in value during marriage, under certain circumstances, a 'pro tanto' community interest may result.
While community debts are usually divided fifty-fifty, certain facts may affect their apportionment. A Family Law Specialist can evaluate the facts and determine how community property should be divided and community debts should be apportioned.
An equalization payment is used to balance the division of community property where one party receives more community assets than the other such as where one party receives the family home or business.
Many people think that a Quitclaim Deed may protect them from property claims by the other spouse, but they may not have the protection that they thought they had. A prenuptial agreement, entered into before marriage, can offer far more protection. Donald F. Conviser can prepare that prenuptial agreement for you before you get married. If property division was already addressed in a prenuptial agreement, Donald F. Conviser can review its terms, identify your objectives and negotiate or litigate the applicability of the prenuptial agreement on your behalf. If you have a question about community or separate property, community debt, or a prenuptial agreement, contact the Warner Center Law Offices of Donald F. Conviser in Woodland Hills.
Who Gets to Live in the House?
Remaining in the family home is not always an option. The court may order your home to be sold and its proceeds divided, or awarded to one party with an order requiring that party to pay the other an equalization payment to balance the division of community property. When children are involved, the custodial parent may be allowed to live in the marital house with the children for a period of time after the divorce is finalized, but that depends on a number of economic factors and can be contested. Warner Center Law Offices’ attorney, Donald F. Conviser, will help you identify your property division goals and he will tenaciously and effectively advocate, negotiate, and where appropriate, litigate for your interests and objectives.
What is a QDRO?
A Qualified Domestic Relations Order or QDRO is a court order that is used to divide pension plan benefits at divorce. To preserve the tax-deferred status of pension plans, sensitive rules need to be followed or the party receiving the money can incur a substantial tax liability.
