Phoenix, Arizona, Attorney: Property Division

Since Arizona is a community property state, when people are divorced their property is divided evenly. This sounds simple at first. When it comes to defining what property is community property and determining the value of each item of property, the equation becomes far more complex. At Paula J. Burnstein, P.C., in Phoenix, Arizona, Paula Burnstein has represented clients in divorce cases for more than a decade. She represents all of her clients with the highest level of professionalism, ethical practice, and attention to individual client needs. To contact Paula Burnstein, call (623) 486-9797.

Protect Your Investments, Your Home, Your Retirement Accounts

Although community property will generally be divided equally, the value of property is often a matter of contention. What is the value of the home? What is the value of a family business or a retirement account? When disagreement about the value of property occurs, an experienced family law attorney can direct their client to business professionals who can provide a professional valuation of any item of property. Finding the right expert witness to provide an accurate property valuation can be critical to negotiations and a client's success at trial.

Protect Your House, Your Car, Your Personal Property

A carefully crafted legal strategy can make all the difference in a divorce. There are no definitive rules stating what property an individual is awarded in a divorce. Community property will generally be divided evenly, but there is no rule which dictates which specific property items a husband or wife will be awarded.

For example, a Court may determine that the family boat has the same value as the family car. While the Court's determination may be entirely accurate, a car is more necessary to most adults than a boat. An experienced family lawyer will carefully craft a persuasive legal argument to pursue the community property their client values most.
