Bradley County Equitable Division Attorney
If you are involved in a divorce, a key concern is likely to be, and should be, how the marital property is going to be divided. Many times, people feel overwhelmed and are willing to acquiesce to any demand from the other party. In other situations, people may become engaged in extreme levels of conflict over particular pieces of property.
At the law office of Angela C. Larkins, Attorney at Law, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, we can help you understand the larger picture of your property division and help position you to be in the best financial situation as you begin your life after divorce.
Property Division Guidance from an Attorney Who is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst
We can help you develop your goals in light of a thorough analysis of your financial situation. Our principal attorney, Angela Larkins, has a Bachelor's degree in Finance from the University of Tennessee. Additionally, she spent several years after college conducting financial audits in Tennessee. Our divorce attorney is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, a certification that requires a rigorous program of financial education.
The basic question of property division is, "What is marital property?" and "What is separate property?" Marital property must be equitably divided according to Tennessee law, while separate property belongs solely to either party. Marital property is gained during the marriage and can consist of things such as an increase in a home's equity even if the house was owned by only one of the party's before the marriage. Separate property is not divided.
It is the characterization of the various forms of assets and liabilities that is the most important. Things that must be considered include:
- Homes
- Automobiles
- Retirement accounts
- IRAs
- 401(K)s
- Inheritance
- Debts
The financial background of our Chattanooga property division lawyer can help you achieve your goals during the division of property.
