Marietta Equitable Distribution Attorneys
Georgia is an equitable distribution state. Equitable, however, is not necessarily defined as a 50-50 division of assets and debt. Fair property division is a matter of discretion left to the judge or jury hearing your case. Assets and debts to be divided are the assets and debt as of the date of your divorce decree, not future totals.
As property division lawyers with more than 25 years of combined experience, attorneys Vic Brown Hill and Brad E. Macdonald will powerfully protect your best interests in all marital property division matters.
Aggressive Advocacy For Your Fair Share Of Marital Property In Marietta
When courts address division of martial property during a divorce, these factors may be considered:
- Liquidity and tax consequences
- Conduct during the marriage
- Alimony obligations
- Premarital and prenuptial agreement
- Contribution to the value of the property
- Separate property or gifts and inheritance
- Assets, debts and financial position of each spouse
- Valuation of retirement accounts, 401(k)s, pensions and investments
Separate Versus Marital Property
Another important factor in property division is classification of property as marital or separate property. Separate property is all property owned by the spouse prior to the marriage or specifically gifted to or inherited during the marriage. In most circumstances, separate property is excluded from equitable division consideration.
