Second
only
to
child
custody
issues,
the
most
critical
component
of a
divorce
proceeding
is
the
division
of
property
among
spouses.
Depending
on
the
length
of
the
marriage
and
the
amount
of
assets
that
have
been
accumulated,
the
splitting
of
material
and
financial
belongings
can
be a
complex
and
sometimes
bitter
ordeal.
We
here
at
the
Law
Office
of
Dennis
M.
Schuster
are
here
to
help
steer
you
through
the
process
and
to
ensure
that
you
receive
a
fair
and
equitable
arrangement.
In a
standard
divorce,
all
property
acquired
during
the
duration
of
the
marriage
is
ordinarily
split
equally
between
the
spouses.
However,
there
are
many
factors
that
can
impact
distribution
amounts,
including:
-
Whether an asset was given as a gift to one of the spouses
-
Whether part of a pension or other investment was earned prior to the marriage of the spouses
-
Whether a business was owned in whole or in part prior to the marriage
-
Whether a down payment on a house came from the earnings of either spouse prior to marriage
The
law
can
become
complicated
as
to
what
assets
(and
debts)
should
be
equally
divided.
At
the
Law
Office
of
Dennis
M.
Schuster,
we
are
committed
to
obtaining
all
the
property
and
assets
you
deserve.
