Merrisa L. Coleman-Bishop - San Jose High-Asset Divorce Lawyer

Divorces or domestic partnership dissolutions involving unusually large community property estates, complex assets, or commingling of substantial separate property assets can present special problems in property division. The scale of the money involved can also tempt a spouse or partner to conceal assets, undervalue assets, or make unauthorized transfers. If your divorce or dissolution presents unusual problems of asset valuation or location, contact Silicon Valley community property division lawyer Merrisa Coleman-Bishop in San Jose.

With the assistance of forensic accountants and appraisers, Merrisa Coleman-Bishop knows how to analyze the financial statements and asset disclosures in a complex divorce case so that you know just what you're dealing with in terms of community property division. She also knows how to spot the signs of unusual account activity or asset transfers shortly before or after the time of the divorce petition that indicate the possibility of concealing community property.

San Jose family law attorney Merrisa Coleman-Bishop is also experienced with community property division problems involving the following:
