FAQ Guiding You With Wisdom, Clarity and Sound Advice

Frequently Asked Questions

How will our valuable property and assets be divided in the divorce?

Courts generally aim for “equitable distribution” of marital property, which doesn't necessarily mean a 50/50 split. Factors considered include each spouse's financial situation, contributions to the marriage, future needs, etc.

What is considered marital property vs. separate property?

Generally, property acquired during the marriage is considered marital property subject to division. Separate property, which usually includes assets owned before marriage or inherited/gifted to one spouse, may be excluded from division.

How will the value of our assets be determined?

For complex assets like businesses or investments, professional appraisers and forensic accountants may be needed to determine accurate valuations. The valuation process can be quite involved for high-value assets.

How can I protect my business/professional practice in the divorce?

Business owners often have concerns about protecting their companies. Strategies may include buyouts, co-ownership arrangements, or other solutions to preserve business assets.

Can I keep my pension after the divorce?

Whether you keep your pension depends on how your assets are divided. Often, pensions and other retirement benefits are subject to division, but negotiations could result in one spouse retaining their pension in exchange for other assets.
