Attorney Helping Clients with Marital Property Issues in Riverside

Marital Property Issues

When two individuals are married and the marriage is coming to an end, or may dissolve, marital property issues often become a hotly contested issue.  These battles over assets and property in divorce cases are not uncommon, and it is considered to be prudent to avoid such battles by having a Riverside county family law attorney draft a prenuptial agreement or marital contract to put in writing those what assets will not become marital property after the marriage takes place.  Many individuals need this type of document drafted, particularly if they personally own large amounts of property, cash or other assets.

Marital Agreement Lawyer Serving Riverside County

Not all attorneys are alike when it comes to the skilled drafting of these crucial agreements.  Attorney Harvey A. Sitzer, Esq. has over 25 years of experience in family law can assist you in all types of marital contracts and agreements.  Your personal situation is unique; an agreement drafted must be done on an individual basis and should never be done with any online, cheap service if you hope to have the agreement stand up in court later.  These agreements have been challenged in many cases and the skill with which they are written is crucial with regard to the outcome of any court challenge.   Martial property issues come up in divorce cases as one of the top points of contention and covering yourself legally with a prenuptial agreement or marital contract is prudent and important for those who are considering marriage.

California is a community property state, and once entered into a marriage, you will be facing the laws of the state.  This means that you could lose a portion of your personal assets without a prenup if during a divorce the judge considers that they have become “marital assets” through a variety of circumstances.  For example, if you and your new spouse move into your personally owned property, over a number of years, this home most likely will be considered to be marital property as opposed to continuing to be your personal asset.  If you hope to avoid this situation and ensure that your property and assets are protected for yourself and your heirs contact Mr. Sitzer to advise you how to move forward with the necessary legal agreements.
