Property Division in Divorce Cases

Marital property and debt division can be the most complex and contentious aspects of a divorce in Nevada. This is particularly true for couples who have been married for an extended period and have obtained a diverse range of assets.

At Landin Law Firm, a comprehensive approach is taken to property division, ensuring that all aspects are carefully considered. As a real estate investor herself, Attorney Landin is experienced in dealing with real property in Mexico as well as in the United States. She also has experience in cases involving expert witnesses, including forensic accountants, and residential and commercial real estate appraisers. 

Nevada operates under community property laws, meaning that any property or debt acquired during your marriage is considered jointly owned by both spouses. However, sometimes people combine separate assets with community property, which can complicate the property division, making it essential to have a divorce attorney for legal guidance and representation. Another complex issue that may arise is marital waste. If the court finds a compelling reason, generally financial misconduct, a spouse may be awarded a greater share of the community property.
