Seeking a Fair Division of Marital Assets and Debts
Of all the issues that need to be resolved in a divorce, one of the most difficult may be the division of property and debts.

In some cases, the most difficult aspect of property division is separating marital property from non-marital property. In many cases, assets you owned or debts you incurred prior to getting married will continue to be yours after the divorce. Any asset or debt obtained during the marriage is presumed to be marital and is subject to division.
Some marital estates can involve complex assets, including closely held businesses, stock options and retirement assets. We have access to the necessary resources such as valuation experts, accountants and others who can help ensure that we have a clear financial picture before the division begins. We can advise you on the potential tax consequences of obtaining a certain asset and recommend strategies that could provide more benefit in the long term.
