Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: collecting part of divorced spouses pension

Under California law, each party is entitled to one-half of the community property and is responsible for one-half of the community property debts.

Given the limited statement you made, a specific number cannot be given. The court will look at the entire community property estate.

You should obtain a consultation with an attorney to make sure you know what your rights are and what you are entitled to under the law.

If you are in Santa Clara County you can contact my office at 408-287-8484 to schedule a free one-half hour consultation.
