San Mateo Marital Property Division Attorney
Community Property Determinations ◊ Qualified Domestic Relations Orders
If you are involved in a divorce in California, you want an experienced lawyer to help you protect your rights under California's community property laws. The distribution of debts and assets can be complicated, particularly with assets that were paid for before and during the marriage, such as real estate.

We emphasize responsiveness and personalized attention to the needs of our clients, responding to all your calls and e-mails in a timely manner and keeping you apprised of all developments in your case.

Our Marital Property Division Practice
When you hire us to help you equitably distribute the debts and assets of your marriage, we will take the time to carefully explain California's community property laws and what you can expect from a property settlement. We will carefully examine all property of your marriage, identifying those assets that qualify as community property and those that are separate property, such as property owned before the marriage or obtained through gift / inheritance during the marriage. We will also help you identify any separate property that may have become community property because it was paid for with community funds.
Our attorneys will also look at all retirement accounts, including pensions and 401k's, and will prepare a qualified domestic relations order ("QDRO") to equitably divide retirement assets, whether they are vested or not.
