Understanding Your Property Division Rights

When identifying marital assets in a property division case, it is important to understand all of the property that can be included. In many cases, the principal amount of the inheritance or gift could be treated as individual or joint property. Likewise, appreciation in value beyond principal may be considered divisible between the spouses. With trusts, there may be times when the entire value, including principal, can be considered marital property, but the nature and specific terms of the trust must be carefully examined.

He will work to understand the property involved, how it fits into your divorce and build the strongest possible argument to support your position.
