What happens if my spouse is hiding assets during the divorce?
Both spouses in a California divorce are legally required to exchange Preliminary Declarations of Disclosure, which are full financial disclosures covering all assets, debts, income, and expenses. Hiding assets is a violation of California law and can result in serious court sanctions. California Family Code section 1101 gives courts the power to award up to 100 percent of an undisclosed asset to the other spouse as a penalty for deliberate concealment.

How is property divided in a California divorce?
California is a community property state. Under California Family Code section 2550, all assets and debts acquired by either spouse during the marriage are generally considered community property and subject to equal division. This includes income earned during the marriage, real estate purchased during the marriage, retirement contributions made during the marriage, and debts accumulated by either spouse. Separate property, meaning assets owned before the marriage or received as a gift or inheritance during the marriage, typically remains with the original owner and is not divided.
-
Does California require one spouse to be at fault for the divorce?
No. California is a no-fault divorce state. The only ground required is irreconcilable differences, meaning the marriage has broken down and cannot be repaired. Neither party needs to prove infidelity, misconduct, or any wrongdoing to obtain a divorce.
-
What are the residency requirements to file for divorce in California?
At least one spouse must have lived in California for a minimum of six months immediately before filing, and must have lived in the county where the petition is filed for at least three months. If you do not yet meet the county requirement, you may be able to file for legal separation in the interim and convert to a divorce petition once the residency threshold is satisfied.

"She found over 400,000 in hidden assets !"
Can't say enough. The divorce affected the whole family as we knew the ex was hiding assets, we just couldn't prove it. Well, Dena came along and with her zealous representation and tenacity, she found the hidden account, proved the ex was a liar and was able to get my normally laid back Santa Monica cousin back to normal. HIRE HER! Dena Taub is simply the best.- Doug -
