South Jersey Divorce Attorney Christopher Musulin - Musulin Law Firm, LLC
After alimony and child custody, distribution of property is the most contentious issue to be resolved in divorce. The rule of law in New Jersey for division of assets and liabilities in divorce is called equitable distribution. There is no presumption that "equitable" means that your assets/debts will be divided 50/50.
Property includes all assets real and personal acquired during the marriage, including:
- The house and everything in it
- Pensions
- 401(k) savings
- Regular savings accounts
- Brokerage accounts
- Antiques, coins, collectibles
- Businesses
- Every other kind of property, including intellectual property
With regard to debts, these will also be divided according to what is "equitable" in your particular case. It is extremely important for your family law attorney to be knowledgeable in all of the case law and statutes concerning equitable distribution. The more exotic your assets or debts, the more complex the distribution. Our lawyers use forensic accountants and appraisers to determine property and business values. In addition, we keep abreast of any new legislation, case law, statutes, and are involved in either taking legal education seminars or presenting at continuing legal education seminars on a routine basis so that the members of our law firm can counsel you accordingly.
