Property and Asset Division

Securing your financial future in divorce

Navigating the division of assets in divorce involves careful consideration and strategic planning. My focus is on ensuring that your financial interests are protected and that we achieve the most equitable outcome for your situation. This process involves a detailed examination of both marital and separate property, employing expert valuation when necessary to accurately assess and divide assets, from real estate to business investments, while considering potential tax implications.

Equitable distribution of marital assets

The equitable distribution process guides each party financially as they divide one household into two.  The way property is split depends on several factors, including:

  • Length of marriage
  • The income of each individual
  • The contribution of each individual to the marriage prior to divorce, including income, responsibilities and efforts
  • Each parties age, health and ability to make a future income
  • Any allocation of parental responsibilities
  • Tax and debt obligations
  • The incorporation of a prenuptial or postnuptial arrangement

What is subject to be divided during divorce?

Under Connecticut law, all marital property and debts can be dispersed among both parties during the divorce process. In some cases, separate property that was brought into the marriage by one individual may be considered for equitable distribution as well. As an experienced family law attorney, my role is to help you understand what property is eligible for distribution.

Equipped to handle complex, high net worth division

In high net worth divorces, the stakes are inherently higher, requiring a nuanced approach to address complex assets such as business valuations, professional practices, partnership agreements, and more. My aim is to facilitate a fair division that respects the contributions of both parties and maintains the integrity of significant investments.
