Equitable Distribution of Property

Divorce Lawyer in Union/Middlesex County, New Jersey

Helping You With the Equitable Division of Your Marital Property

When you are involved in a divorce and are faced with difficult decisions about the division of marital property, you can easily attach emotional value to material items. A better approach, however, is to view your marriage as a business venture that failed and to divide the debts and assets as you would in a business dissolution. An experienced family law attorney can help you take the emotion out of the process, so that you can find a way to fairly allocate property and obligations.

At the Law Offices of John B. D'Alessandro, LLC, in Union, we work closely with individuals to bring about the equitable division of marital property in a divorce proceeding. For nearly 20 years, we have focused our efforts on providing compassionate counsel to individuals facing the difficult challenges that come with a marital breakup. We understand the emotions that come with divorce and take the time to listen carefully to your concerns, so that we can identify solutions that meet your needs. Contact our office by e-mail or call us at 908-364-2596 to schedule a confidential meeting to discuss your marital property settlement.

Our Marital Property Division Practice

We help clients find ways to fairly divide the debts and assets of a marriage, including

  • real estate—principle residence, vacation homes, condominiums, and rental property
  • personal property—bank accounts, investments, vehicles, jewelry, electronics
  • retirement assets—401(k)s, IRAs, pensions and deferred compensation
  • cash values on insurance policies
  • business property

We will help you determine the fair market value of property, bringing in experts if necessary. We will also work closely with you to identify what qualifies as marital property and what does not.

When dividing the debts and assets of a marriage, the law requires an equitable or fair distribution, not necessarily an equal distribution. We have a comprehensive understanding of the factors that go into the determination of fairness in property settlements and will help you reach an equitable agreement that allows you to make a fresh start.
