BJ Fadem & Associates, APC is a Certified Family Law Specialist

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.

Your issue may be time sensitive, please contact our Law Firm to set-up your Initial Consultation.

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.

Single parents juggle so much—providing for their children, managing daily responsibilities, and navigating complex legal challenges. Yet, the legal system is not always designed with their realities in mind. At Fadem Law, we advocate for fair custody arrangements, accessible child support enforcement, and legal protections that empower single parents to create stable, loving homes.

Too often, single parents face unnecessary legal battles just to secure what their children deserve. Family law should work for families, not against them. That’s why we fight to ensure single parents have the legal support they need to protect their children’s well-being.

If you or someone you know is struggling with custody, child support, or co-parenting challenges, you are not alone. We’re here to help.

Believe it or not, divorce was illegal in South Carolina until 1949 and in Nebraska until 1972! Before then, couples had to prove extreme circumstances, like abandonment or abuse, just to separate.

Today, California is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you don’t need to prove wrongdoing to end a marriage. If you're considering divorce, FADEM Law is here to guide you through the process with care and expertise. 💼
