Alpharetta Property Division Lawyers
When going through a divorce in Georgia, the first thing you should know about asset division is that Georgia is not a 50/50 state. This means that you are not automatically entitled to half of your marital assets, and will instead need to prepare yourself to fight to keep what belongs to you in your divorce. Instead of taking on this challenge alone, let a skilled attorney do the fighting for you.
At the Alpharetta office of The Siemon Law Firm Divorce and Family Law Attorneys, P.C., you can find the representation you need from an experienced family law team. We know the importance of these situations, and we want to be the ones who help you secure the outcome you deserve in the asset division of your divorce.
What Assets Are Divided In An Alpharetta Divorce?
Many clients are surprised to learn just what of their assets are subject to division in their divorce. Georgia is an “equitable distribution state,” which means courts divide all marital assets in a divorce. These assets are anything that either spouse acquired during the course of their marriage, including:
- Retirement accounts
- Vehicles
- Real estate
- Bank accounts
- Debt
There are some exceptions to what marital assets will be split, such as gifts and inheritance. We can review your unique situation and determine what you can expect to keep in your divorce and what will need to be split.
When we represent clients in these cases, we take the time to identify what is subject to division and obtain an accurate valuation of them, fight to keep what belongs to our clients, answer any questions they may have and develop personalized strategies to pursue a resolution they deserve in their asset division process.
