There are many complexities to consider when contemplating, or going through a divorce process. It is an unfortunate reality that financial imperatives are the single most common reasons for divorces becoming bitter, acrimonious and resentful. Community property in the state of Arizona is wealth that has been accrued during the course of the marriage. Separate property constitutes that which was accumulated before the marital tie was made. It is generally accepted in legal terms that there is nothing definitive about separate property and this is where most legal disputes within the divorce arena center.
Stocks and bonds fall within the remit of property division and such financial assets as these, if obtained during the marriage period, are sure to be considered community property and therefore are likely to be shared. There are exceptions to this rule however, and a highly skilled and qualified Phoenix high net worth divorce attorney can investigate and argue such a case on your behalf. If you are contesting the fact that some stocks and bonds are a separate property then it is incumbent upon the person declaring them as separate to prove they are such. An experienced attorney can work to be able to ensure that your asset is protected or accessed as required. If it is that ex-partners cannot come to an agreement on how property is divided then more rudimentary processes are applied to apportion property, usually resulting in equitable shares.
