Evaluating Both Assets and Debt — Calling on Financial Experts as Necessary
A near "fifty-fifty" division of marital assets is the most common outcome in a Massachusetts divorce, but the law supports "equitable" — as opposed to strictly equal — marital property division. Many factors may influence the outcome and how well you can support yourself and any children after divorce, including your attorney's:
- Diligence in seeking accurate valuations of marital property including family businesses, real estate, and retirement or investment accounts
- Ability to evaluate a challenging debt scenario — including one that may justify bankruptcy — with your future interests in full view
- Connections to an array of experts to serve as credible expert witnesses if necessary on issues including property valuation, special needs of children, earning capacity of your divorcing spouse, and much more
Experienced Guidance When You Should Ask, "Is This Worth the Time and Cost?"
A key aspect of our approach to divorce at Army & Army is providing an ongoing cost vs. benefit analysis intended to help in your decision-making process. In other words, we do not overcomplicate cases unnecessarily or encourage our clients to battle for assets if the cost of doing so may outweigh potential gain.
When you choose to contact us about a divorce that may involve complex property division, we will treat you with respect — "leveling with you" about our own fees and the complexity that may arise based on one choice or another.
