Property Division

California is a community property state, meaning that most property acquired during marriage is owned equally by both spouses and must be divided equally upon divorce.

Parties typically settle property and debt issues by signing a Stipulated Judgment or “Marital-Settlement Agreement.” However, if you and your spouse cannot reach an agreement on your own, retain the Law Offices of Robert A. Goodman to protect your rights.
