Division of Property

Phoenix Property Division Attorneys

One of the biggest obstacles in a divorce is division of the property and debts. Whether it is an oil painting with sentimental value or the family pet, the potential for a major disagreement exists.

If you were prudent enough to have a prenuptial agreement (or antenuptual or partnership agreement) that outlines the distribution or assets and debts, then you have taken appropriate steps to reduce the likelihood of a lengthy and costly legal battle.

At DeShon Pullen & Associates, our family law attorneys represent individuals in divorces throughout the Phoenix area. Our representation includes complicated asset and debt division between the parties.

Property Division of Assets and Debts Can be Complicated

Arizona is a community property state, which means there is a presumption that all marital property (assets and debts) should be split equitably between the parties. However, it is not always that simple. There are many issues that can create obstacles in dividing the property and debts.

For example, there can be classification of property issues regarding assets and debts. The property classification issues can be further complicated when non-marital property is commingled with marital property.

There can also be valuation of property issues. For example, how do you assess the value of the family pet? At DeShon Pullen & Associates, our divorce and family law attorneys can help you identify issues and assist you in your goal to obtain the assets and debts you want.
