When it comes to property division, the state of New Jersey assumes that all marital assets are equal, so every divorce begins with a presumption to split property fifty-fifty. A cookie-cutter approach may not work for every family, though, so we closely examine your financial situation and can even help you negotiate a unique settlement that meets your needs. If a negotiated agreement is not possible, then the court will divide the property, considering sixteen different economic and marital factors (like the length of marriage, age and health of the parties, employment history, and education) before making a final decision.
Whether you could obtain more property or there is a risk that you will not receive half of available marital assets, it is important to know what to expect before you start negotiations.
As your attorneys, we will make sure that any property division, achieved either through a negotiated settlement or litigation protects your rights. We will also make sure all assets, including property and businesses are properly identified and valued. This includes complex assets like pensions, 401ks, and retirement accounts.
