Property Division

In all divorce proceedings, accurate location, identification, and valuation of assets are essential for fair and legally binding property settlements. For couples without pre-nuptial agreements, asset and debt division can be the most tedious and time consuming component of a divorce. You may have accumulated significant marital property and debt during your marriage. Simply identifying and valuing your assets and organizing your debt can be overwhelming. Working with experienced divorce lawyers and financial professionals helps you be certain nothing is missed and all your property and debt are on the table and that the most advantageous tax treatment considered.

Our collaborative lawyers regularly work with one of our financial professionals experienced in identifying and valuing assets and debt in preparation for divorce settlement proceedings. Working with these professionals allows you to save on costs and be confident your property is being handled by experienced professionals.

Equitable Distribution

At Collaborative Family Law Affiliates we create a spreadsheet of the marital assets and liabilities immediately following the initial consultation. We meet with you to review primary documentation relating to all assets and liabilities. Modification and updates to the schedule allow us to provide you with ongoing appraisal of the various potential equitable distribution scenarios and to provide you with an analysis of various tax consequences resulting from the transfer of marital assets, as well as give you the basis for long term and retirement financial planning. Our team strives to structure a final settlement which, in longer term marriages, addresses retirement issues as well as immediate economic needs.

Following an accurate and thorough investigation and description of your estate, our collaborative attorneys will work with you and your spouse to craft a property settlement agreement. We want you to have the legal advice you need to help you preserve your wealth during and after your divorce. Check out Libby Bennett's articles on hidden assets.
