When the time comes to divorce, there are numerous stressful, emotional and financial matters to contend with. At the heart of every divorce where there are children involved, they rightly take precedence over everything else. In most cases organizing childcare and access, and maintaining parental relationships is an issue that is easily resolved as there is willingness from both parties for that to continue. Issues are far less agreeable however when it comes to the division of assets. This area of any divorce settlement is often the most contentious and distressing for any couple.
Within the state of Arizona operates a policy, which ascribes the acquisition of worth amassed after the marriage, as shared. However, financial accumulation prior to the marriage is considered as outside of the “community property”. Unfortunately, such prior accumulations rarely go uncontested and lie at the heart of arguments when assets are being apportioned. At the Cantor Law Group, we strongly believe in a transparent, fair and honest apportioning of accrued wealth. We will take a vigorous stance to ensure that clients access the proportion that can be rightfully claimed as theirs. It is often during issues where assets are contested that previously civilized divorce proceedings become acrimonious and bitter.
Community property is not confined to real estate such as bricks and mortar, holiday homes and other assets such as boats and cars. It also includes such assets as pension and benefit rights, stocks and shares, patents, copyrights and anything else of value, even frequent flyer miles. The apportioning of assets and the arguments of whether they are open to contest is where a attorney at the Cantor Law Group comes into their own. The area of assets or community property, as it is officially known, is a legal minefield that has to be fully understood in order for it to be negotiated safely.
