California is a community property state. What this means is that all assets acquired during the marriage, including the increased value of assets brought into the marriage, are considered part of the 'marital pot'. And dividing this pot in the event of divorce can be difficult to accomplish fairly without the help of an experienced California divorce lawyer.
At the Law Offices of Korol & Velen, we represent individuals from throughout the South Bay, the San Fernando Valley, and the Greater Los Angeles areas and provide experienced, specialized legal services related to property division in divorce. Our firm’s State-certified family law specialists will work either through collaborative law means, mediation, or in court to help you get the best settlement possible in your case.
The division of marital assets and debts includes:
- Business valuations
- Division of retirement accounts
- Division of pension plans
- Division of investment accounts
- Real property valuation
As a firm, we retain forensic accountants and other professionals to value pension plans, stocks and stock options, homes and other real estate, and business ownership interests. And while we are empathetic toward our clients, we do not hesitate to deal aggressively with the opposition if the situation requires it. Our goal is to achieve results that are fully in the best interests of our clients.
