At Boyd Law, our Los Angeles complex property division attorneys excel in California property division laws and can help you to develop a plan to fairly divide your property.
Divorces that involve complex property division involving high assets, business ownership, professional licenses and other complex financial matters have the potential to be high conflict and high profile. Divorces of this nature must be handled carefully and knowledgeably. If you are facing a high net worth divorce in Los Angeles, Boyd Law family lawyers in Los Angeles are prepared to protect your rights and your financial future.
In California, property acquired during the marriage is considered community property, and should be divided between spouses accordingly. Factors such as the increase in value or real estate and retirement accounts will also be included, with the exception of gifts and inheritances.
In a high net worth divorce and one that involves complex property division, it is critical that the assets and property are thoroughly evaluated to ensure an equitable division of property. The attorneys at Boyd Law work with leading experts in economics, forensic accounting, business valuation and other fields to ensure that your case is handled properly. We handle a wide range of complex property division matters, including those involving:
- Business valuations
- Division of corporate partnership assets
- Ownership of residential, commercial and ranch real estate
- Stock options

Family court judges are required to distribute marital assets between spouses, including property acquired by either or both spouses during the marriage. What constitutes fair division of property is largely up the judge’s discretion, and subject to a list of legal issues the judge must consider.
In divorces involving spouses of high income and net worth, who own business assets, or properties, several problems must be resolved, especially when contesting spouses each claim an asset as their own and not subject to community property laws. Determining value and worth of assets is another complex issue the attorneys at Boyd Law can help with. As well as full and accurate disclosure of income and earnings. Prenuptial agreements can further complicate matters as well as taxes, liquidations, spousal support, custody and child support.
