Building Agreement in Marital Property Division
California Family Lawyer Lenita Skoretz

At the Redlands, California, family law practice of attorney Lenita Skoretz, it is my mission to provide my clients with both the knowledge and the opportunity to meaningfully participate in the process of finding a legal resolution to their family law concern.

This is particularly true in divorce property settlement cases, which could result in a lengthy and contentious court case-or a simple and cooperative mutual decision by the couple.

California is a community property state. Marital property will be divided "equitably" as part of the divorce settlement. But what does "equitably" mean? That decision that will need to be made, either by the couple themselves or by a family law judge in divorce court.

Collaborative Law
As a mediator and collaborative divorce attorney, I assist my clients with the full range of divorce-related legal actions, including marital property division. When appropriate-when couples are cooperative and express a desire to be in charge of their own situation-I encourage my clients to use the Collaborative Law or divorce mediation processes to achieve their goals with greater speed, more privacy, and far fewer bad feelings.

Contact me if you and your partner are considering a cooperative divorce and marital property division option.

Litigation of Marital Property Division
Some couples will not be able to reach a mutually agreeable decision about property division because one partner is unwilling to negotiate or is being dishonest about the marital assets. In these instances, a court case is necessary and I will aggressively pursue the best interest of my client.

Just as I work with a team of experts to determine hidden income for spousal support, I work with a forensic accountant to track down and value assets, including the valuation of personal property and family businesses. Contact the law office of Lenita Skoretz, a marital property division lawyer, for an aggressive investigation of marital assets and a just division of property.
