Divorce And Property Division In Las Vegas

When it comes down to one of the most common family law matters, divorce, most people are very concerned about how their marital property will be divided with their spouse. It is important to realize that Nevada is a community property state. This means that each party is considered the owner of 50% of all the marital property and this property will generally be split equally. Any property that was already owned by one party before marriage, however, will remain owned by that party after the divorce is finalized. It will not be subject to division as part of the marital property, as long as the party who owned it took measures to keep it separate throughout the marriage. This standard can make identifying separate property a little more complicated for the average person. Property division definitely requires the expertise of an experienced Nevada divorce attorney, like Shelly Booth Cooley at The Cooley Law Firm.
