Property Division In Orange County

If you are getting divorced, you may be worried about the division of your property. You want to make sure that your family can remain in their home after the divorce and that your child will have a better future. California is actually a state with community property.

This implies that any assets or property acquired over the course of a marriage belong equally to both spouses & must be split equitably by the court in the event of a divorce or separation.

It is crucial to understand that every situation is different. No two divorces are alike, so if you have concerns about how property division works in Orange County, Jos family law attorneys can help. Our experienced attorneys work with clients who want to make sure their families are not left homeless or financially unstable when they go through the emotional process of divorce.


What Is Community Property?

Community property is a legal term that refers to property or money accumulated during a marriage. It can include anything from the family home & furniture to cars and bank accounts, as well as any income earned by either spouse. Community property is actually shared equally by both spouses.

So if one spouse wants to keep something separate - like a small inheritance or an inheritance trust - they should put it in their own name before they get married. If the couple has signed a prenuptial agreement, this becomes important because everything will be divided according to what is written in the agreement.


How Is Orange County Community Property Divided In A Divorce?

If you are considering a divorce, it is important to know how your community property will be divided. Orange County property division attorneys know that in California, the courts divide property between divorcing spouses as follows:

  • The court will divide the spouses' community assets equally unless there is good cause not to;
  • The court may award some of one spouse's share of the community property to the other spouse if necessary to equalize their economic circumstances;
  • Spouses may agree on a different allocation of community property at any time during or after the divorce proceedings;
  • The court must approve any agreement made by the parties regarding their community property (whether they reached this agreement before, during, or after divorce proceedings).

If you need help with your estate planning and want to make sure that both spouses get an equitable distribution of community property, contact our office today!


How Are Debt & Assets Divided?

In California, the division of property and debt during a divorce is based on community property. In addition to community property, there are also separate properties that are either owned by one spouse before marriage or received as gifts.

These properties are not considered when dividing assets. The property & debt can be subject to equitable distribution, which will depend on various factors.

  • The length of the marriage
  • Each party's financial condition
  • Value of each spouse's contribution
  • Amounts & duration of spousal support
  • Income tax consequences of the different types of assets
  • Tax deductions available to each spouse

Many people believe they cannot get divorced because their finances are too complex. Fortunately, this is not true! A qualified Orange County attorney with experience handling complicated divorces can help you determine how your property should be divided and ensure your rights are protected. It's worth it to contact our office for a consultation if you're considering divorce so we can help make sure all your bases are covered!


What If A Spouse Has Hidden Assets Or Income?

If a spouse has hidden assets or income, it can be easy to overlook. As a result, one spouse may end up with significantly less than the other after a divorce. However, there are genuine ways to overcome this problem. One way is by hiring our seasoned Orange County Property Division Attorney.

Our attorneys will work to uncover these assets and make sure they're allocated appropriately during the property division process. They'll also help you come to an agreement if both spouses have been hiding assets from each other. Don't let your soon-to-be ex cheat you out of what's rightfully yours.

As a business owner, it is critical that you do not neglect your financial responsibilities so that your spouse will not have any opportunity to claim half(equitable share) of the value of the company. To avoid this, make sure you maintain up-to-date tax records for your company, including payroll documents and sales receipts.

Thank you very much to Mr. Jos and to all his group of professionals who helped me get out of my child support case with a very good result. Each case is different and my case was very complicated. I live in the state of Virginia and the child support office of the state of California was starting a case against me, the amount they wanted me to pay was ridiculously high I didn't know what to do because I don't live in California and I had never met the child either. I searched online for a lawyer in California and thank God I found Mr. Jos's law office. I don't know them personally but I put my trust in them and they didn't disappoint me. We had very good communication despite the distance and they were always available to talk to me and clarify my doubts. Mr. James was the one who took my case to the end and after a long and very difficult process everything went very well in my favor much more than expected. I am very grateful to God for putting the entire team of professionals from Mr. Jos' office on my way. Words are not enough for me to describe everything they did for me and how grateful I am. I definitely recommend Mr. Jos's law firm. Thank you Mr. James for not giving up in my case and having achieved a magnificent result in my favor.

Nader Zayid

JOS family Law took on my case which entailed custody and move away components and I honestly could not say enough great things about JOS Family Law! Mr. Jos is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but it is also extremely obvious how much he cares for his clients on a personal level as well. There is an expression that two heads are better than one, however, Mr. Jos' philosophy takes it further as eight heads are better than two. It was so impressive and reassuring how collaborative everyone at the office works together to meet on regular cadences and discuss their client's cases to brainstorm strategies in order to seek the best possible outcome for their clients. Mr. Jos has an amazing team of extremely talented and knowledgeable attorneys that have worked together on my case. James was the lead attorney on my case and also represented me in my hearing. James was able to get us everything we were asking for as he successfully proved that full custody remaining with me is in the best interest of the children and that the move away is in the best interest of the children as well. We were able to come up with a plan to ensure that the children's mother can visit regularly and still maintain a healthy relationship. James is a rock star attorney! I would without hesitation refer anyone seeking help in a family law matter to call Jos Family Law!
