California is a community property state. Property is presumed to be community property if it is acquired during the marriage. Community property is usually that property acquired through assets or earnings earned or acquired during the marriage. Inheritances, gifts by bequest or devise, and any property obtained prior to the marriage is separate property. California requires that community property be equally divided via property settlement or judgment.

To understand California division of assets and debts, speak with a knowledgeable Divorce attorney here at Holstrom, Steinberg & Associates in San Bernardino County. Property Division can have far-ranging and long-term consequences. Pension plans, IRAs, and other investment options must be characterized and divided. Loans, liens, notes, and mortgages, must be accounted for, together with the properties that they encumber. And, there are almost always a few items with unmeasurable sentimental value.

Divorcing parties must reach agreement on Property Division issues as part of the proceedings, or the matter will go to court and a judge will decide. The law firm of Holstrom, Steinberg & Associates promotes fair settlements through skilled negotiation, mediation and arbitration because the parties may find themselves unhappy with a bench officer's decision, and have little recourse at that point. If a case goes to trial, we litigate aggressively on our clients' behalf.
