There are laws that define nearly everything when it comes to property division in divorce. Property division is usually NOT 50/50. You probalby have a LOT of questions; questions we've heard before:

 

• Can I get some of my spouse's retirement?

• What about Social Security?

• My spouse moved out; can I change the locks?

• Who will pay the taxes on the investments?

• Who gets the jewelry?

• Can I get back the money my parents "gave" us?

• What about my inheritance?

• Can the credit cards be shut off?

• Can I empty the bank account?

• Who gets the club membership?

• What about the frequent flyer miles?

• Can I force my spouse to sell the house?

• Will I be forced to sell the house?

 

The list is endless.  Call me.  A little prep work on the front end of a case pays huge dividends in later settlement negotiations.
