Community Property Division Following Divorce

Under California Family Code Section 2500, property division after a divorce is based on the idea of community property. Community property means that property, income, debts, and assets procured by either spouse during the marriage are considered to be owned by both of them until the end of the relationship. In contrast, a person is typically entitled to keep their separate property, or that acquired before the marriage began.

Examples of assets that are considered to be community property include:

  • Automobiles
  • Bank accounts
  • Businesses
  • Cash
  • Furniture
  • Homes or apartments
  • Pension plans
  • Retirement plans
  • Stocks

During a property division case, it is the responsibility of the spouse challenging ownership of the community property to show evidence that the belongings should actually be considered as separate property. That is where we come in – our team of attorneys can help you fight for what is rightfully yours. In instances where there are unclear or incomplete records of financial statements, we can retain a forensic accountant to fully value assets.
