San Diego, California, Marital Property Division Lawyer
Make Sure the Division of Your Marital Property Protects Your Financial Future
California law states generally that property and assets accumulated during marriage are presumed to be community property. Many couples who seek to dissolve their marriage have a home, automobiles, bank accounts, and retirement benefits which were acquired during the marriage. Most likely, the state will view these assets as community property and they must be assigned a value and divided upon dissolution.
Many people filing for divorce don't have a full understanding of what their net worth really is. After calculating the future value of pensions, mutual funds and real estate property, people are often surprised to learn how important it is to fight aggressively to protect their rights in a divorce settlement.

Do You Have Prenuptial Agreement in Place?
If drafted properly, a prenuptial agreement is usually a binding agreement in a divorce. In many cases, however, one of the parties was not adequately advised by legal counsel when the document was being drafted. Courts are increasingly ruling that a prenuptial agreement is invalid if both parties did not have effective legal representation. If you aren't sure whether your prenuptial agreement is valid, talk to an experienced family law attorney.
