The Children’s Well-Being
“In terms of the potential breadth and complexity of issues which they face, family practitioners work in one of the most, and perhaps the most, exacting and demanding areas of concentration in the law. Under California’s community property laws, every item of marital property presents a host of challenging issues. Not only must the family practitioner worry about the characterization and valuation of each asset, he or she often must consider future tax consequences involved in various items of community property. On top of that, support and customer issues involve different considerations, in which a human relationship- as distinct from a discrete event-is the subject of the litigation.”
Elia v. Elia (1997) 58 Cal App 4th 415, 418 n.2
