Your Legal Partner in Equitable Distribution Matters
Navigating the Complexities of Equitable Distribution
Equitable distribution is a legal process that involves the fair but not necessarily equal division of marital assets and debts accumulated during the marriage. The Law Office of Lance H. Meyer, Esq., PLLC, is a divorce attorney who can help in navigating the complexities of equitable distribution in divorce proceedings. Understanding that each marriage is unique, we approach each case with a tailored strategy to ensure that our clients receive a just portion of the marital estate. Our expertise encompasses the full spectrum of assets, from real estate and personal property to investments, retirement accounts, and business interests.
Strategies for Asset Division
Developing a strategy for the division of marital assets is crucial in achieving an equitable distribution. Our firm works closely with clients to evaluate the nature and value of all marital property, distinguishing between marital and separate property according to New York law. We employ negotiation, mediation, and, when necessary, litigation to advocate for a fair division that considers the duration of the marriage, the contributions of each spouse to marital property, and the future financial needs of both parties. Our goal is to protect our clients’ interests while facilitating a division that is equitable and just.
Expert Valuation and Division of Complex Assets
One of the challenges of equitable distribution is the accurate valuation and division of complex assets, such as businesses, professional practices, and retirement accounts. The Law Office of Lance H. Meyer, Esq., PLLC is a professional divorce attorney with access to financial experts and appraisers to ensure that all assets are valued accurately and divided fairly. We address issues such as the potential for future earnings, tax implications of the division, and the liquidity of assets to arrive at an equitable distribution that aligns with our clients’ best interests.
Negotiating Debt and Liability Division
Equitable distribution also involves the division of marital debts and liabilities. Our firm represents clients in negotiations to ensure that debts are allocated fairly between the spouses, considering who incurred the debt and who benefited from it. We work to protect our clients from being unfairly burdened with marital debt, advocating for a division that is equitable and considers the financial circumstances of both parties post-divorce.
