California follows community property laws, which means all assets and debts acquired during marriage are typically divided 50/50. However, proving whether something is community or separate property can be complex.
Property you owned before marriage, inheritances, or gifts made specifically to you remain separate property. However, if they were commingled with marital funds, they may be subject to division.
Hiding assets is illegal. Our firm works with forensic accountants, subpoenas, and discovery tools to uncover hidden property, ensuring a fair outcome.
Businesses started during marriage are generally considered community property. Division may involve:
Retirement accounts (401(k), IRA, pension plans) require a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) to divide funds properly. We ensure these are drafted and executed correctly.
Yes. Just as assets are shared, debts incurred during marriage (credit cards, loans, mortgages) are typically divided equally, unless they can be proven to benefit only one spouse.
Many couples negotiate property division through settlement or mediation. We guide and protect you through this process, ensuring your rights are not compromised.
With Nicole Duncan’s international law background and broad network, our firm is equipped to handle cases involving out-of-state and international assets.
It depends on the complexity of assets and whether the case is contested. Some cases resolve in a few months, while complex disputes can take over a year.
Even “simple” cases can have hidden complications (e.g., tax consequences, retirement accounts, separate vs. community tracing). Having a lawyer ensures you are not giving up rights unknowingly.
