Fulton County Marital Asset Division Attorneys
Georgia is not a community property state. When a couple files for divorce in Georgia, their marital assets are subject to equitable division. That means that all marital property and debt acquired during the marriage are subject to valuation and a division which is fair under the circumstances, whether this division is by settlement or litigation. Often, the most contentious issue that arises in divorce is the determination of which assets are separate property (or non-marital property) brought into the marriage, and which assets were acquired during the marriage.
The Georgia divorce lawyers at Kupferman & Golden, Attorneys at Law, have many years of experience handling complex marital asset valuation and property distribution in divorce. The firm has the professional capacity and experience to protect your rights in property and asset matters such as:
- Business property and debt
- Real estate
- Securities, mutual funds and other stock market investments
- International investments, off-shore tax shelters
- Pensions, 401(k) accounts, IRAs and qualified retirement funds
- Executive bonuses, deferred compensation
Marital Debt Is Subject to Equitable Distribution, Too
People are often surprised to learn that marital debt is also considered marital property, subject to equitable division, just as any asset. In many divorce cases, the parties may have a mortgage that is in excess of the value of the property (upside-down mortgage). Kupferman & Golden will help you decide which option is best concerning such an asset, including the ramifications of a foreclosure, a short sale, as well as other means of dividing the marital debt equitably.
