Division of Property After Divorce

When a marriage begins to dissolve, there are certain issues that must be discussed and efficiently handled by a Fresno divorce attorney. Property division is a difficult topic to navigate for many couples because no one wants to live without the objects to which they become accustomed. When the couple has to distribute mutually held marital property, their tensions typically run high and it can become a complicated situation. Determining what is marital property and what individually belongs to each person is not an easy problem to solve.
