The Law Office Of Patricia A. Hendrickson & Associates
Orange County, California
Dependable Experienced
Property rights raise three primary questions for people facing divorce: What's mine? What's theirs? And, what's ours? Even though these questions are simple and straightforward—simple and straightforward answers can be hard to come by.
The Right Answers, the Right Approach
At the Law Office Of Patricia A. Hendrickson & Associates, we represent spouses and registered domestic partners throughout the Orange County region in divorce and dissolution and in the separation of community and non-community property. As lawyers, we are experienced and skilled at framing our clients' cases in the proper way and at handling the complexities of dividing property such as:
- Businesses
- Pensions and retirement accounts
- Investments / stocks
- Stock options
- Real estate
- Marital debts
California is a community property state. This means that any property acquired during the marriage will be divided equally between the spouses. However, because what each person brings into a marriage naturally tends to become co-mingled with marital assets over time, it is important to take great care in analyzing each client's unique situation in detail. It must be done right the first time.
As attorneys , we work to achieve the best settlement terms for our clients, employing experts and professionals when necessary, such as forensic accountants, historical appraisers, real estate appraisers, and others, to establish the value of the marital assets and debt, as well as to establish their sources and to consider the tax implications of various settlement options.
