property division Archives

For a lot of couples, it's not that hard to divide the marital assets. They can quickly agree about how to handle the house, the bank accounts, the pensions and any investments. These days, many spouses either enter into marriage with a prenuptial agreement or have roughly equal separate income and investments. The big problem isn't centered around how to split the "big" things. It's the little things -- those with sentimental value -- that become hard to divide.

The real estate that you and your ex amassed during your marriage is a huge consideration when you are going through a divorce. You might be tempted to try to keep the biggest properties, but this might not be in your best interests. There are several things to consider when you are working through the property division process.

One of the important things that you will have to do if you divorce is to determine who is going to keep which assets, but you can't forget about the marital debts. All of these must be split up in the property division process. It is imperative that you go into this process with a clear head and an idea of what you are going to fight for. We realize that this isn't going to be easy, but we are here to help you evaluate the options that you have.

Splitting up the property that was accumulated during a marriage is a challenge in some divorces. This is because both parties might have specific things they are attached to that they don't want to let go. When both are attached to the same property, there can be a fight over who gets to keep it. But there is much more to property division than just trying to get the items you want.
