A San Diego divorce receiver appointed in a marital dissolution proceeding may take possession and control of a wide range of assets, including real estate, stocks, operating businesses, personal property, and other assets that are the subject of the divorce. These matters frequently require coordination with forensic accountants and other professionals. Effective divorce receivership also requires the ability to communicate clearly with all parties involved, offering guidance when appropriate and firm enforcement when circumstances demand.
