Division of Property – Divorce Attorneys in Albuquerque
New Mexico is one of the few states in the U.S. to have community property laws. Under these laws, property is jointly owned by both spouses during marriage, i.e., property acquired during the marriage is owned equally between the husband and wife. When a couple seeks a divorce, the property is divided equally, regardless as to who purchased it.
Property includes real estate, and any personal property. Debts are also considered personal property in most cases. The divorce attorneys at Standridge Law Firm, P.C. can help you sort through the property division laws in New Mexico.
