Complex property division involves assets such as business interests, stock options, retirement plans, real estate portfolios, and hidden or dissipated assets. The court considers 11 statutory factors to determine a fair split. Separate property acquired before marriage, by inheritance, or by gift is excluded from division. Mr. Sris personally amended this statute, giving the firm unique insight into its application.
