What Happens to Property Outside California During a Divorce?


 Property division can become especially complicated when real estate, investments or other marital assets are located in another state or country.

In California, property acquired during marriage is generally evaluated under community property principles. Property acquired elsewhere may also be considered quasi-community property under certain circumstances. However, identifying an asset and obtaining an order concerning it do not guarantee that the order can be enforced internationally.

This video from JOS Family Law explains how jurisdiction and enforcement affect cross-border property cases. It also discusses a strategic alternative in which the value of overseas property may be considered when dividing more accessible assets located in the United States.

Because every marital estate is different, anyone dealing with out-of-state or international property should obtain legal guidance based on their specific circumstances.
