Dividing the Pie Fairly
Morristown - Randolph - Chatham - Denville - Northern New Jersey
The legal process of dividing marital property varies from state to state. In New Jersey, marital property is split under "equitable distribution" standards. This does not necessarily mean equal in the sense of 50/50, but a fair division based on the facts of the marriage.
In equitable distribution states, there is quite a bit of room for an experienced divorce attorney to work to enhance a divorcing individual's retained assets. There are two common ways to resolve property division disputes:
- Litigation. Divorce courts look at 11 criteria when making decisions regarding property division. At Laufer Dalena Cadicina Jensen & Boyd, we can ensure that 1) all valuable information advantageous to your case is presented to the court, and that 2) you have an advocate in the courts throughout your property division proceedings.
- Mediation and arbitration. Alternative dispute resolution can save you time and money, reduce conflict, protect your privacy and give you greater control over the results. Our family law attorney team includes numerous certified divorce mediators.
Our attorney team is highly knowledgeable, experienced and skilled in managing marital property litigation and settlements. Yet finances can become highly complex when numerous bank accounts, retirement accounts, overseas accounts, royalties, licenses, family businesses, inheritances and other assets are involved. We work closely with forensic accountants and other experts to protect your interests.
