Property Distribution Divorce Lawyers
During a marriage, a couple can build a substantial estate that may be composed of many valuable assets such as homes, vehicles and retirement accounts. If the couple owns a business, then a business valuation can also be a part of the property distribution process. This is especially true in high net worth divorces. Determining the value of those assets and how to divide them is a complex question that can cause disputes.
Having a skilled divorce attorney representing your interests can help ensure that you receive the portion of the marital estate that you deserve.
One key question in the distribution of property during a divorce is whether the asset in question is marital property or separate property. Generally speaking, marital property is defined as any property acquired from the date of marriage to the date of separation with a few exceptions. Any property acquired prior to the marriage or after the date of separation is separate property. Other forms of separation property include property that inherited or received as a gift. Separate property is not divided. Marital property needs to be equitably distributed. Equitable distribution is often, but not necessarily, equal.
Mediation and negotiation are powerful tools for resolving questions regarding the equitable distribution of the marital estate. If those tools fail, we turn to the courts to win the resolution our clients need. We have a record of success in both negotiated and litigated cases.
