A divorce settlement, absent a prenuptial/pre-partnership agreement, must address the full range of property and assets shared among the spouses and how they will be divided. Property division can be a complicated process, sometimes requiring the patience of a strong negotiator and other times the work of an effective litigator. I have extensive experience handling complex, high-asset property division cases, including those involving:
No matter the extent of your property or wealth, analysis, and advice from a Santa Rosa family law attorney is needed. There are two aspects to the division of property: valuation and characterization. Valuation, simply enough, refers to how much the assets are worth.
