Property Division in DivorceDivorcing men who are financially successful can be unfairly targeted in divorce and property division. While even today, women are often perceived to be the weaker sex, and property division determinations are made often favoring the female. Attorney Elaine Harrison focuses exclusively on protecting men's rights in divorce and property division matters. California requires the designation of community and separate property in the equitable distribution of property: - Community property (or marital property) is any property acquired by spouses during the marriage.
- Separate property is any property acquired by individual spouses separately before the date of marriage
Property division becomes especially complex when separate property generates community property. For example, an individual spouse may have a started a retirement account before the date of marriage, but if the spouse contributed to it during the marriage, it may be considered community property. Attorney Harrison works with clients determining the division of pensions, IRA's, retirement accounts, bank accounts, other tangible assets, and debts. She also assists clients with complex property division which requires business valuation. She is a smart negotiator who takes a practical approach to property division and related matters.
