Property Division

Division of Property & Assets

Mr. Duenow specializes in property division for couples undergoing divorce or separation. In California, property division is governed by the laws of community property.  Each spouse is presumed the equal owner of most assets and debts acquired during marriage and are then subject to 50/50 split during divorce. However, assets that either party bring into the marriage can be potentially classified as separate property which are not typically subject to distribution. Exceptions may apply for inheritance’s, business interests, retirement accounts, and integrated assets that create additional complications or conflict during property division.

In typical cases, these interests during marital division include:

  • Real Estate
  • Family Businesses & Interests in Businesses
  • 401(k), IRA, ROTH, IRA, and other retirement accounts
  • Stock investment accounts
