California Property Distribution
California divorce
law includes a
"community property" law. Any property that was acquired by either
party during the marriage in joint form is presumed to be "community"
property, unless it is clearly stated in a deed or written agreement that the
property is "separate" property. Unless the spouses agree otherwise,
all community will be divided in a California divorce. The Court may, however, if economic circumstances
warrant, award any asset to one spouse on conditions that are proper to provide
for a substantially equal distribution of property. Property can be divided
unequally if one party has deliberately misappropriated community property.
