Divorce Overview

There are many reasons behind divorce. Whatever yours may be, the attorneys at the Thomas Hogan Law Office are prepared to bring your divorce case to a swift and favorable resolution. We have 25 years of experience representing Sacramento, California, residents in divorce proceedings and know what it takes to achieve favorable results that promote your well-being and protect your financial interests.

Our lawyers understand the significant strain a divorce places on your relationship and shared assets. While this strain is not always avoidable, it can be relieved with the help of a qualified attorney. Property division is complex, which is why we always strive to make sure your questions are answered thoroughly and to your satisfaction.

Protecting Your Interests

The handling of asset division can have a profound impact on whether or not you and your family are left with adequate resources for the future. Before reaching an agreement with your spouse, it is critical to:

• Accurately value your assets: These may include jewelry, real estate, automobiles and retirement accounts.
• Determine whether certain properties are marital or nonmarital: This usually involves exploring the contribution each spouse made toward the purchase and/or maintenance of these properties.
• Uncover and address any hidden assets: If one spouse is caught intentionally hiding assets or income, the division of property could shift significantly in the other spouse's favor.
• Understand the tax consequences associated with property division: Certain liabilities can be present when dividing assets. You or your spouse could end up paying a capital gains tax.

At the Thomas Hogan Law Office, our attorneys will help you accurately evaluate your financial state so that you are treated fairly in divorce proceedings. Tom Hogan is a certified public accountant, and has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of finances that not all attorneys can offer.

Of course, we understand that your divorce is about more than division of property. If necessary, we will assist you in filing child support and child custody paperwork. We act as a medium between you and your spouse, keeping emotional tensions low and providing you with the advocacy you need.
