Understanding Property Division in Regards to Large Asset Divorce Cases

When couples divorce, the Washington Courts takes on the task of making sure that property is divided evenly. This process is called property division, and it is often highly contentious. The court recognizes that property may be personal or communal. Personal property is not subject to division, but communal property is.

Personal property includes assets acquired before getting married, or becoming a couple sharing finances. Communal property includes anything acquired as a couple during the relationship, sometimes even before marriage. Inheritances and personal gifts are considered personal property, unless they are made to the couple.

If one partner buys something for themselves with community assets, it is subject to division. In some marriages, personal and community property is commingled to the point where it's designation is no longer clear, which automatically makes all of it community property.

Large asset cases complicate these designations because the line demarcating personal property and community property is often blurred. The division of assets like family heirlooms, bank accounts, and large amounts of real estate, require great care when it comes to defining ownership. Obviously, this takes years of real-world legal experience, so make sure you work with a Tacoma attorney who will fight to protect your legal rights.
