Division isn’t always a simple calculation.

Assets acquired during a marriage are considered marital property, but property acquired before marriage or received from a third party as a gift or inheritance are excluded. During a divorce, this marital property is subject to just and equitable division by the court. However, interpretations of what is just and equitable, as well as what constitutes marital vs. separate property, can vary widely. Equitable distribution also doesn’t necessarily mean the marital property will be divided equally between the parties. Property division is based on several factors, including the economic circumstances of each spouse. Sometimes, the disadvantaged spouse receives more of the property. Marital property generally includes holdings and finances acquired during the marriage such as:

Personal property (such as vehicles, jewelry and furniture)
Real estate
Bank accounts
Pensions and retirement accounts
Businesses
Stock options

Marital debts, including mortgages and taxes, must also be divided. After years of acquiring wealth together, dividing your property may be one of the most complex and divisive aspects of your divorce.

My attorney, Peter Casciano, met with me when I was a walk-in client in distress. He immediately directed me to several public agencies of which I had need, and advised me in the process of becoming a client of the firm. His advice and understanding, on such short notice, was much needed and greatly

Client Testimonial – I couldn’t be happier with the result that I got

“I was recommended to Ms Vann from a friend of mine. I couldn’t be happier with the result that I got. I was dealing with custody and financial support issues with the mother of my twin boys and trying in vain to do the right thing by myself. Working with Ms Vann relieved so much of the stress that I was going through. It is about six months since my case was closed and things are still going really well. I only wish that I had contacted her sooner!”
