Experienced Property Division Lawyer in Modesto
California is a community property state. When a marriage breaks up, all assets acquired during the marriage must be divided evenly. This concept also applies to debts incurred during the time the couple was together — debts are allocated the same way assets are.
It is important to try to resolve conflicts over property distribution amicably if at all possible. Otherwise a judge may do it in a manner that works for neither party. Contact Thomas Hogan for experienced, cost-effective legal counsel.
