Understanding Equitable Distribution in Divorce
When a marriage ends, dividing marital property can be a complex process. From vehicles and houses to bank accounts and household items, a family law attorney can help ensure you receive a fair share of everything you accumulated together.
The Role of an Attorney
Many people assume that divorce means splitting everything 50/50, but that's not always the case, even though it is a strong presumption in North Carolina. At Dozier Miller, we will guide you through the court’s process of dividing marital property based on various factors, ensuring you receive a fair and just outcome.
Comprehensive Legal Support Throughout Your Divorce
At Dozier Miller, our divorce attorneys also serve as equitable distribution attorneys, providing consistent legal support throughout your entire divorce process. This means you don’t need separate lawyers for different aspects of your case, so you can have a consistent point of contact from beginning to end.
Negotiating Fair Distribution of Marital Assets
Our business and financial sense are invaluable when negotiating for a fair distribution of a marital estate. We will advocate on your behalf as the courts consider factors such as:
- Your contributions to marital assets
- The length of your marriage
- Each spouse’s income and earning potential
- The value of each asset and its degree of liquidity
- Other relevant considerations
Interim Distribution and Property Exclusions
We’ll counsel you on the best approach to equitable distribution, and help you determine if an interim distribution is in order to help you cover expenses during separation. We can also answer any and all questions you have about what property is excluded from the equitable distribution process. Our goal is to help you navigate these complexities and address any unique exceptions in your situation.
