Property Division

At the Rooney Law Firm, we have more than 30 years of experience helping people in Chico and throughout California. We bring a high level of dedication to every divorce and family law case we handle. That dedication has earned our lead lawyer a spot on the National Register’s Who’s Who in Executives and Professionals, an honor achieved by only a very small percentage of attorneys.

California is a community property state. That means that marital property and debts is subject to a fifty-fifty split between the parties. Property acquired prior to the marriage, inheritance and some gifts received during the marriage, may not be subject to this division, but requires a property characterization analysis.

The rules that outline marital property division seem simple, but they can quickly become complicated. Even though the court requires full disclosure of all property, assets still may be hidden. Disputes may arise over the nature of different property. Our lawyers have a strong financial background and can sort through these matters. We will carefully examine your case and develop a legal strategy designed to take care of your immediate needs and establish long-term results.
