Spousal Support (Alimony)
Our lawyers assist couples in establishing and contesting spousal support arrangements. We can help you pursue a just and reasonable outcome for your unique circumstances while safeguarding your rights throughout the legal process.
Property Division
We help couples and families navigate the legal intricacies of property division under California’s community property rule. From determining marital property to uncovering hidden assets, our attorneys can work diligently to achieve an equitable result that protects your financial future.
Is California a Community Property State?
California is a community property state, meaning that family courts seek to divide marital or jointly owned property (“community property”) equally between spouses during a divorce. However, this only applies to property acquired during the marriage. Separately owned property (such as gifts or inheritances) is not subject to division during a divorce. Partnering with a trusted lawyer is critical to protecting your economic security.
