Division of Assets/Debts

In most divorce actions there arises the issue of a fair division of property between the spouses.  Property division includes both assets and debts that were obtained/incurred during marriage, which are commonly referred to as "community or quasi community property".  It does not always matter who's name the asset/debt is in.  What does matter is the nature of that asset or debt and when it was obtained and/or incurred.  Dividing assets and debts can be a difficult process and it is not always as easy as it sounds.  Having a knowledgeable attorney to assist you in this regard is very important to protect your interest.
