Finckbeiner, Jr., we understand you have many questions and concerns regarding the division of property.

What is community property?
Community property is all assets, property and debts that were acquired during the marriage. This can include the family home, vehicles, recreational equipment such as boats, investment properties, retirement plans and family-owned businesses. Our firm can handle complex property division issues related to a divorce.
What is separate property?
Separate property includes gifts, inheritance and property owned before the marriage. A premarital (prenuptial) agreement can further protect your rights regarding property division.
In some circumstances, you may benefit if you can reach an agreement regarding property division after the divorce has been finalized.
