Arizona is a community property state, meaning most property acquired during the marriage is divided equally. However, the actual process of property and asset division in a Phoenix divorce depends on many factors—including valuations, debts, and whether certain property is considered separate or marital. Our goal is to make sure you leave the marriage with what you’re legally entitled to.

What Counts as Community Property?

  • Wages earned during the marriage
  • Real estate acquired during the marriage
  • Joint bank accounts and investment accounts
  • Retirement accounts (401k, pensions, etc.)
  • Vehicles, furnishings, and household items

What Is Considered Separate Property?

  • Assets acquired before marriage
  • Inheritances and gifts to one spouse
  • Property protected by a prenuptial agreement

Valuation and Division Strategy

Our legal team works with appraisers, accountants, and forensic experts (if needed) to value:

  • Real estate
  • Businesses
  • Stock options and investments
  • Debt obligations and liabilities

We then help negotiate fair settlements or represent you in court if no agreement is reached.

High-Asset and Complex Divorces

We have deep experience helping high-net-worth clients in Phoenix untangle complex financial portfolios during divorce. We ensure that no hidden assets go unnoticed and that your financial future is secure.
