Marital Property and Division
Marital property, including debt, is certain property that is obtained during your marriage, prior to the date of separation. Equitable distribution is the division of that property in a manner that is equitable and fair. What's fair will depend on your unique circumstances.
Property division can create many questions and concerns, such as:
- What will happen to my inheritance?
- What happens to the property that I owned before the marriage?
- Will the retirement benefits be divided?
- What happens to the bank accounts?
- What happens to the life insurance?
- What happens to stocks, bonds and IRAs?
- Who will pay the debts?
- What will happen with the SGLI?
We can help you to answer those important questions and to protect your rights.
Mediation
Under most circumstances in North Carolina you will be required to attempt to mediate the property division aspect of your divorce. If both parties can work together to work out an agreement, mediation can save you money. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, we will help you fight for what is rightfully yours in court.
