Property Division

Dividing Marital Property

People are often surprised by the disputes that arise during property division. Even people of ordinary means often have more property — and thus more conflict — than they expected. And when there are significant assets at stake, property division becomes both complex and adversarial.

Using all the legal tools available

We ensure that our clients receive their fair share of marital property by using all the tools available to us. We undertake discovery to determine the extent of the marital and non-marital property. We review protective documents such as prenups and postnups. We focus on closely held businesses, which some people use to try to hide assets.

Leaving no stone unturned

In addition to making sure that the truth comes out about the value of a business, we also look for other hidden assets that are often overlooked. We have increased the value of marital property by ensuring that furs, jewelry, artwork and other property are included. We see that retirement funds, stock portfolios and pensions are correctly valued.

Fair property settlement offers are common in our practice

Our attorney is determined and thorough. This often leads the other party to settle. Opposing lawyers and their clients seldom wish to experience the level of scrutiny that we use in marital property division cases. We have been able to uncover attempts to hide assets in many instances, leading the opposition to settle for far more than they would have offered otherwise.
