Marital Asset Attorney Serving Riverside County
Marital Assets in California
Each state has varying laws regarding what is termed “marital assets”. In California, a community property state, the assets that you owned prior to marriage are not usually considered to be marital assets. However, there are circumstances under which your assets, property and finances do become marital assets over time and if divorced will be part of what must be split between the two parties. For example, the family home is considered a marital asset. In many cases, one individual owned the house prior to the marriage. When the individual hopes to maintain sole ownership of this property even throughout the marriage, it is necessary to get the help of a Riverside county family law attorney to draft a prenuptial agreement that carefully outlines what properties are to remain under control of the individuals involved after the marriage takes place. Harvey A. Sitzer, Esq. has assisted countless individuals in the Riverside County area to get these crucial agreements drafted at an affordable price.
