Nov 13, 2007

OUTCOME: 70/30 split of community assets in client's favor

We represented the wife in the dissolution of a 32 year marriage, where the parties had been physically separated for seventeen years. During the marriage, the parties acquired a home for which the mo ... rtgage had been paid off in 2006 as a result of the wife's payments. We successfully argued that the wife was entitled to a far greater share of the home, over the husband's argument that he deserved one-half of the community asset. The court ordered a 70/30 split of the community asset in the wife's favor, to give her full credit for payment made during the separation.
