DIVIDING MARITAL ASSETS
Your Rights and Responsibilities
Whether you were the sole breadwinner in your home, split financial responsibilities, or you were dependent on your spouse for income, it is absolutely critical to work with a legal team that can protect your financial interests and assets at the time of divorce. At Slater & Zurz, LLP, we offer supportive and strategic advocacy to protect the financial assets and interests of clients facing the complexities of division of marital or non-marital assets. Taking the time to understand your individual circumstances and concerns, we will take a strategic approach to secure your investments and property.
Marital Property versus Separate Property
In the division of marital or non-marital assets, the court will assess your property and assets based on whether it is considered community property or marital property. Generally, any assets acquired during the marriage will be considered marital property, while assets brought into the marriage will be considered separate. An experienced attorney can help you protect your personal rights to property you brought into the marriage or assist you in claiming rights to assets acquired since marriage.
We are experienced in cases involving:
- Savings and checking accounts
- Property settlement agreements
- Real estate property
- Second homes/vacation property
- IRAs, 401ks and other retirement accounts
- Dissolution of family business
- Complex property division
- Inheritance and family heirlooms
