Property Division Attorney in Mesa
A Collaborative Approach to an Emotional Matter
If you and your spouse have decided to end your marriage, one of the things you will need to work through, either together or in court, is the division of property. This is often one of the areas that takes the most time and detail, depending on the amount of assets that a couple has. The longer your marriage is, the more intertwined assets and debts can become, making it harder to divide them apart.
Dividing Community Property
The way that property is divided varies from state to state. Arizona is a community property state, so any assets or debts that were acquired during the marriage will be viewed as belonging to both spouses except for that specifically given as a gift, through an inheritance, or otherwise specifically devised to one individual. This includes all assets and debts up until the point they filed for a dissolution of marriage, annulment, or separation, regardless of whether or not one spouse stayed home while the other worked. When community property is divided, it needs to be done so fairly.
Community property includes a number of assets and debts, such as:
- Real estate
- Vehicles
- Student loans
- Credit card bills
- Cash
- Stocks
- Bonds
- Sometimes pensions or retirement accounts
It is best if you can come to an agreement with your spouse and avoid having the courts make the ruling for you. Having a legal representative can greatly benefit either of these cases, however. If you and your spouse are unable to work together, then it is important that you have a competent, experienced Mesa divorce attorney looking out for your best interests. Many people succumb to the stress of a divorce and take less than they deserve just to end the case.
