Our Law Firm Is Dedicated To Defending Your Rights

Property and Debt Division is part of Divorce or Legal Separation. The process of determining what is community property accumulated during a marriage can include more than just homes or furniture. It can include: Stock options and portfolios, Retirement plans, IRS’s, and Keogh accounts, Art and antiques, Summer Homes, Commercial Real Property, Vehicles of any kind, Bank Accounts to name just a few.

One of the complicated parts of Property Division and Characterization involves the legal issues of “commingling and transmutation of property”.
Commingling of Property is when separate property and community property is so mixed together it can’t be traced apart.

Transmutation of property is when separate property changes to community property or vice versa.

The Laws governing Property Division and Characterization are changing constantly. Our Attorneys, Staff and Financial Experts have thorough up-to-date knowledge and experience to make sure that your property is divided fairly and that you get what you are entitled to.

The reason I return time and time again is knowledgeable employees and the respect I am treated with. I also think that the noncondensending matter in which I was treated was a prime factor.

Not all restraining orders in California work the same way.Domestic violence restraining orders and civil harassment restraining orders apply to different relationships and follow different legal standards.Domestic violence protections generally apply to family members or partners.Civil harassment orders are typically used for neighbors, coworkers, roommates, or other individuals outside of a close relationship.In many situations, civil harassment cases require proof of a pattern of behavior, not just a single incident.Understanding these differences can make a significant impact if you are filing or responding to a restraining order.Follow @FademLaw for clear California family law insights.
How easy is it to get a restraining order in California?It depends on the type.For a civil harassment restraining order, one incident is usually not enough.You must show a pattern of harassment, threats, or abuse — and that it’s likely to continue.If the conduct stopped, or there’s no ongoing risk, the court is far less likely to step in.These cases carry a higher burden.Courts don’t issue restraining orders simply because there’s a dispute between people.Understanding the difference between “a conflict” and “a legal pattern of harassment” matters.
