Division of family property and debt is the most disputed issue in most family law matters. We can help you in getting your fair share of the family property.
Property and debt division applies only to married spouses and unmarried spouses who have been living in a marriage-like relationship for at least two years.
Family property is any property that the two spouses own, separately or jointly, at the date of separation. However, it does not include excluded property which may be anything you owned prior to the date of marriage or when the spouses began living together, whichever is earlier. Any increase in the value of the excluded property from the date of marriage or cohabitation to date of separation is part of the family property and shared equally between the spouses.
