California Property Division Mediation

Helping You Protect Your Assets 

During the course of a marriage, a couple accumulates a great deal of property and assets that are considered community property and belongs to both people equally. However, during a divorce, couples must determine fair division of that property. Without help from a skilled divorce mediator, these negotiations can quickly go from challenging to highly contentious. Rather than turn to litigation or allow the process to become prolonged and stressful, allow us to guide you through mediation and help you find a resolution that works for your needs.

Asset Division in High Net Worth Divorce

The only exception to the Community Property rule is if you have a valid prenuptial agreement with different specifications as to how the property should be divided following a divorce. Property acquired before the marriage, or following the separation, is considered separate property and is generally exempt from property division.

The valuation process can be a lengthy one, particularly in high net worth cases. Just a few of the things that will need to be evaluated include:

• Businesses
• Investments
• Real estate
• Stock options
• Intellectual property

Once the worth of all of these assets is determined, the property division can begin. In some cases, it may be helpful to hire a forensic accountant who is trained to analyze, condense, and present complex financial information so it is understandable to all parties.
