WHY YOU NEED MARITAL PROPERTY DIVISION LAWYER’S HELP

Speaking about shared and separate marital property, there are some ultimately confusing issues. They are often such topics as stocks portfolios, various bank accounts, cars, Pension Funds, and many others. All property items that were obtained by parties in the period of marriage is considered to be a shared marital property. That means it will be later divided equitably between the ex-spouses.

You are probably asking yourself, which of your property you can keep. The best decision for you is to speak to your marital property division lawyer instead of guessing if you are going to lose your car, your home, or any other valuable assets.

MARITAL PROPERTY DIVISION SHOULD BE EQUAL, NOT EQUITABLE

There is an equitable distribution rule in New York. That means dividing all the marital assets ultimately fairly to both of the sides. And in reality, it is not usually a 50/50 division, but such cases also take place.

The division of marital property concept is not applied to separate property as stated before, some things that are considered separate property are: property that a spouse possessed before the marriage, compensation for injuries to either spouse, any property considered separate by a prenuptial agreement, and there are more stipulations as well.

Equitable division of marital property can extend into a business or professional practice as well. Some individuals do not know that enriched earning size attributable to a professional license, a particular degree, or profession is considered property and is subject to the division of marital assets law and rules.

A question that sometimes drives from the notion of equitable division of marital property may be “what is considered separate property?” When it comes to separate property the division of marital assets does not apply. Each spouse gets to retain their own separate property when they get divorced unless the other spouse somehow was a factor in the increase of the value of said separate property.

The first step you should make is quite easy, you should simply write down all your possessed assets as well as all your debts. After that try to define if these assets are shared or separate. For example, if you were gifted something just to you while you were married, it is not a subject of marital division. Sometimes you will need support to prove some things are not common property in fact. You should also define if any of the separate property items become shared assets while you were married (such situations are called transmutation). Such decisions are made based on the way how such items were used and held during the marriage.

When you have already determined your marital property items, then you should measure their value. It is especially difficult when talking about personal property items, bank accounts, jewelry, intellectual property, business, vehicles, retirement and investment accounts, and real estate items. At the Law Office of Yelena Sharova P.C., evaluators we have special property appraisers, as well as business and real evaluators to help our clients during this complicated and confusing process.
