We have extensive experience handling complex property disputes and division of asset matters. Most disputes fall under a “categorization” issue or a “valuation” issue. Categorization issues involve determining whether property is marital property or individual property. Property brought into a marriage is generally individual property and property accumulated after a marriage is generally considered marital property.
The complexities arise when property is brought into a marriage but value is added during the course of a marriage, which often happens with homes or other real estate. In addition, there can be a transmutation of the property from individual property to marital property and from marital property to individual property.
Valuation issues arise when the value or worth of certain property or assets is not easily determined, such as a professional practice or business interest. Other valuation issues can include determining the value of stock options, life insurance and pension plans, real estate and collectibles. We work with some of the best experts and professionals in the area to assist you with your complex property matter.
In addition to complex property disputes, we also handle other divorce and family law matters, including:
