New Jersey Attorneys Handling Property Division in a Divorce
The state of New Jersey recognizes equitable distribution of marital property and debt in a divorce. However, “equitable” does not necessarily mean 50/50. Instead, equitable distribution will be the court's approximation of what is fair in the divorce.
At The Law Offices of Marilyn Labrada Dume, in Englewood, New Jersey, we represent individuals in divorce proceedings involving property division issues. We believe in helping our clients create smart solutions by limiting the amount of discord involved.
We often encourage our clients to participate in economic mediation for issues related to alimony and equitable property distribution. We will explain the process and work with an experienced matrimonial practitioner who will talk with you about property division issues unique to your divorce. Together, we will come up with a best- and worst-case scenario, define your goals, and focus on those goals in order to help you achieve the best possible results.
This approach is especially important for people who have a great deal of property or other assets. Each person is unique and some value certain pieces of personal property more than others. We urge our clients to keep property division issues simple, even when the assets themselves are complex such as:
- Closely held companies
- Pensions
- Investments
- Real estate and vacation property
