Real Help When You Need It Most
Since 1971, our firm has been using our skills as litigators and negotiators to help people secure the best possible results to the challenges they are facing. Let us put those skills to work for you.
Options For Dividing The Marital Estate
Building a new life after divorce is costly. You may have spent years or decades sharing expenses during your marriage. Establishing a new household as a single person can be surprisingly expensive. Not only do you deserve to leave your marriage with a fair share of the assets and property, but it may also be essential to you being able to get off the ground financially.
There are two ways to approach dividing the marital estate:
- Create an agreement through negotiation
- Ask the court to divide the estate.
We can negotiate with your spouse and his or her attorney to secure an agreement that works for you. If we cannot reach an agreement, we can ask the court to do so and present a strong case for an equitable division of property that benefits you.
Benefits Of Having An Agreement
Many divorcing couples try and approach this issue on their own or otherwise feel an agreement is not necessary. The reality is that property division is almost always more complex than people think. Even if you agree today, you may not tomorrow.
Potentially complicating issues we are skilled at dealing with include:
- Small-business ownership
- Characterization of property as marital or nonmarital
- Division of retirement benefits
- Division of debts
If you cannot reach an agreement, we are ready to defend your legal rights. From a proper valuation of property and assets to fighting for your share in court, we work with the goal in mind of ensuring you leave your marriage with everything you deserve.
