Attorney Committed to Protecting Your Interests
California is a community property state. This means that all property or debt that you acquire during the marriage is community property. Each spouse has a one-half interest in community property. This may include an interest in a house, retirement plan or professional practice.

Separate Property in a Marriage
Separate property is recognized in California. It is property or debt acquired by an individual before marriage or after separation, or property received by an individual spouse during the marriage by inheritance or gift. Separate property belongs to the spouse individually.
Distinguishing separate property and community property can be a complicated process. Whether a spouse may still be entitled to their separate property interest in an asset and the value of that interest must be carefully analyzed.
If you are considering divorce, even if you are confident your divorce will be amicable, it makes sense to contact a skilled lawyer to help you understand the implications of every decision you make and to help determine whether you are receiving a fair share of the community and separate property.
Community Property Debt Allocation
Another major consideration in divorce and property division is the question of which spouse will be required to pay which credit card or other debt. For couples who are in debt, these decisions can be just as important as those involving property division.
