California Divorce Lawyers

For many people going through a divorce, property division is one of the key issues. Each side wants to retain certain assets, and the two parties must either negotiate and agreement or take the matter to court. Either way, an experienced divorce attorney is a necessity.

The above are just a few of the assets that bring about especially complex negotiations during a divorce. Attorneys Susan E. Christiansen and Cristin M. Lowe are known within the legal community for their skills at negotiation. They have the ability to stand firm and fulfill their clients' needs, and are well-respected by Solano and Contra Costa County judges for their ability to propose fair and reasonable solutions.

Community Property

California is a community property state, meaning that any assets gained during a marriage must be split equally among the parties. Separate property is owned by one spouse or another. Part of a divorce lawyer's job is demonstrating that a particular asset is either separate or community property, depending on the circumstances.
