Understand How to
Divide Property and Debt
Couples going through a divorce in California must decide how to divide their assets and debts—or ask a court to do it for them. Whether you handle your own property division or a court decides the division for you, there are three crucial steps to the process that a family law attorney can help you with.
1) Determine whether the property or debt is community property or separate property;
2) Agree on a value of the community property;
3) Decide how to divide the property.
Under California’s community property laws, all assets and debts acquired during marriage belong to both spouses or domestic partners equally, and these assets or debts must equally be divided within the divorce process. Some couples are able to agree on how to divide all their assets and debts. Couples who cannot agree on an equitable solution will have to seek court intervention regarding the division of their assets and debts.
