Protecting Your Share

"Equitable distribution" of money and property as it appears in a settlement agreement cannot be modified later. Therefore, as your lawyer, Mr. Iverson strives to get it right the first time.

He carefully researches the origin of every marital asset, including:

  • Real estate, including primary, secondary, vacation, and retirement residences
  • Motor vehicles, boats, and personal watercraft
  • Checking and savings accounts
  • Deferred and 401k retirement income
  • Stocks, stock options, and bonds
  • Any assets concealed offshore or set aside in someone else's name
  • Inheritances

The Difference between Community Property and Non-Community Property

In California, a big factor in determining who will receive what in a divorce is whether the asset in question is considered community property or non-community property.

  • Community property: This includes everything that was acquired during the marriage, including all earnings and debts, unless the debt was accrued by an item considered the separate property of the spouse and the creditor looked to that spouse specifically for payment.
  • Non-community property: This is also known as separate property and typically includes anything given or awarded specifically to a spouse. It also includes anything that was bought with the separate funds of a spouse.
