Property division sets the foundation for your post-divorce financial life. Our attorneys combine forensic accounting expertise with aggressive advocacy to uncover hidden assets, properly value complex holdings, and secure your rightful share of marital property.
Equitable distribution means marital property is divided fairly based on various factors, not necessarily 50/50. Courts consider contributions, future needs, and other circumstances.
Generally no. Inheritances are separate property unless they were commingled with marital assets or used for marital purposes, which could convert them to marital property.
Retirement benefits earned during marriage are marital property. Division requires a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) to avoid taxes and penalties.
We use discovery tools, forensic accountants, and private investigators to uncover hidden assets. Courts can penalize spouses who hide assets by awarding a greater share to the innocent party.
