Property Division
Community Property
As a divorcing couple in California, you may think that your assets and property can be easily evaluated, divided and distributed. However, the division of community property can be an extremely complicated process in our state, one that you’ll need an experienced divorce and property attorney to help you with.
The Law Office of Stuart E. Bruers has served Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties as well as the South Bay for over 30 years from our Torrance family law office. Stuart is known for listening intently to clients, especially in the area of community property. He then turns that knowledge into a legal strategy that becomes the most professional representation available.
We call upon investigative connections such as accountants, both certified public accountants and forensic accounts, as well as other investigators who will help resolve any property-related dispute.
If your goal is to bring your divorce actions to a swift, solid conclusion by deciding all property division matters once and for all, we will work hard toward your equitable distribution goals from start to finish of our working relationship. Contact us today to schedule your initial consultation.

Committed To Professional Divorce & Community Property Representation
At our law office in Torrance, we can collaborate with accountants and investigators and address community property matters such as:
- Community property assessment
- Separate property assessment
- Interstate assets
- International assets
- Tax implications
- Business valuations
- Intellectual property
- Licensing agreements
In the event that a former spouse attempts to hoard hidden assets, we will endeavor to locate, identify, valuate and distribute them fairly. Something else to keep in mind is that California courts have the wherewithal to award the entirety of those assets to the party they were hidden from as a result of a breach of the obligations owed to the former spouse.
You will appreciate the versatility with which we conduct business on your behalf. For example, we prefer to amicably negotiate marital settlement agreements, but will aggressively litigate your community property division dispute if necessary.
Please be in touch with our full-service and all-purpose family law firm in Torrance if we can be of service. We will listen to you, start to finish, and offer the most professional legal representation available.
