Property Division

Will Your Divorce Lawyer Protect Your Financial Interests?

California is a community property state. That means the financial value of every asset gained by the couple during marriage is shared equally by the couple. In the event of divorce, ensuring that the assets are out in the open and valued properly for a fair marital property division is often a complex issue.

At the Law Office of Victor M. Castro, we protect our clients' interests. Too many people think that divorce is about getting the most out of the settlement. The fact is, a court will ensure that property valuation is fair and transparent and that both sides receive full consideration for a fair settlement. Unfortunately, we have to tell many of our clients that the best thing a lawyer can do is use experience, knowledge and professional resources to ensure that all assets are on the table.

If your marital property settlement is an important part of your future after your divorce is settled, make sure you have the right attorney protecting your rights. Contact attorney Victor Castro at our San Jose office today.

Won't the Courts Make Sure Your Rights Are Protected?

It is extremely important to have strong legal representation when dividing your marital property. Under California law, unless separating or divorcing partners sign a written agreement, or verbally agree in court, they have little control over how their assets will be divided. The court has jurisdiction to divide the community estate of the parties equally as it sees fit. Couples who leave such important decisions to a judge are seldom happy with the results.

At the Law Office of Victor M. Castro, we have the knowledge and experience to recognize and resolve the issues for a fair property division and preservation of separate property assets. Victor Castro has extensive experience working with professional business and property division and valuation experts, including more than 27 years of experience in complex matters involving stock options, investments and pension plans.

We also investigate the potential for:

  • Claims for credits
  • Reimbursements
  • Breach of a spouse's fiduciary duty, such as hidden debts or retirement accounts
  • Setting aside transfers of property that were done in violation of the spouse's fiduciary duty
  • Sanctions for violation of a spouse's breach of fiduciary duty
