Experienced Pasadena Complex Division of Property Attorney


The division of marital-assets and debts often involves complex issues such as the classification of property, i.e., whether something is community property or separate property, and the valuation of assets.

One of the main issues surrounding the classification of property is a concept known as transmutation, i.e., has the property gone through a transformation from community property to separate property or from separate property to community property?

Complex valuation issues are those involving-assets such as professional businesses (e.g., doctor, lawyer, accountant, psychiatrist, dentist, etc.) or closely held companies, as well as issues relating to separate-property brought into a marriage that has appreciated during the course of the marriage.

We provide experienced representation and excellent advice in matters regarding the division of community property. We also offer assistance with business valuation issues and tracing-assets. You owe it to yourself to seek out the best possible representation.
