Pre-Divorce Planning Is Key
All assets acquired by either spouse during marriage are considered eligible to be divided upon divorce. Therefore, it is critical to structure your marital estate in a way that clearly keeps your separate, individual property apart from community assets.
Working with accountants, QDRO specialists and other financial experts, our legal team can help you take steps to protect your assets and future lifestyle. Examples of the things that must be considered are:
- Making sure gifts are titled in your name only and kept separate so that they remain separate property
- Keeping any inheritance in accounts with only your name and kept separate, as opposed to joint accounts
- Keeping business assets separate from personal assets
- How to handle retirement portfolios and investment accounts
- How should appreciation be handled? What about business goodwill?
- How will alimony and child support payments affect you?
When you visit us, we will take the time to sit down with you to discuss your goals for divorce. Everyone is different, so by taking the time to understand you and your family, we can tailor our services to meet your unique needs.
