Chico Family Law Lawyers for Protection of Your Financial Future
Whether you have substantial wealth and property or only modest assets, divorce almost always represents a major financial turning point. Unfortunately, many people who go through divorce in California find themselves in dire straits once their cases are settled, for reasons such as:
- Inability to deal effectively with a family home that is seriously "under water" due to the widespread decline in real estate market values all across California
- Excessive borrowing to cover the costs of divorce litigation, which can mount quickly in complex and intensely disputed cases
- Failure to account for the increased living expenses that come with establishing separate households, the impact of child support and other financial aspects of life after divorce
- Financial decisions that have substantial debt and tax implications, such as short sales of marital homes that leave one or both parties to deal with deficiency judgments
