Divorce often involves the division of a variety of types of property due to the many assets clients acquire during their lives. While the list of types of property is extensive, we often deal with real estate, businesses, financial accounts, stocks, stock options, retirement (both defined benefit and defined contribution), and certain types of life insurance. Where the parties have marital debt, this is also divided. Property division can occur by written agreement or, if necessary, through court-ordered relief. Our approach is to identify, classify and establish a value for property, and then suggest possibilities for division.
