How Marital Property Is Divided in California

California is a community property state, which means that all marital property – property acquired during the marriage, with certain exclusions – is assumed to be shared equally between the spouses. As such, marital property is subject to equal division. Any separate property – property a spouse acquired before the marriage or during the marriage as inheritance or a gift – is not subject to division. Clauses in prenuptial and post-marital agreements may also affect how property is classified and divided.

In California, who earned more income or acquired more assets during the marriage is not a factor in the divorce. The court will still divide the marital property on an equal basis.

During the property division process, you will have to:

  • Locate all assets and property
  • Assign a value to the assets and property
  • Decide how the property will be divided or distributed

The division of marital property will include all income, investments, retirement accounts, businesses, real estate, and any other assets acquired during the marriage.

Property Division Disputes

When dividing property during a divorce, it is essential that you have your own legal representation. A divorce lawyer can protect your property rights and ensure that all assets are uncovered, properly valued, and distributed equitably.

If we encounter disputes during the process, we strive to resolve them through alternative dispute resolution techniques like mediation and arbitration. That said, we understand the importance of a fair and legally sound property division order. If we cannot reach a favorable settlement, we are never afraid to take the matter to the courtroom.
