Asset Division

Asset Division

Unless a couple has a prenuptial agreement or developed a post nuptial agreement, most assets acquired during the marriage, except a direct inheritance or lawsuit judgment is subject to being divided during a divorce. This means all assets must be properly valued at the time of the divorce and an equitable settlement must be reached.
