Property Division/Retirement Accounts

For most people seeking a divorce, dividing marital property equitably is nearly as important as resolving child custody issues. California is a community property state. In a community property state, all property and debt acquired during the marriage belongs equally to both spouses and must be divided evenly. Making sure that debts, financial holdings and physical property are valued appropriately and divided evenly becomes the key issue.
