New Castle County Property Division Attorneys
Divorce proceedings alone are difficult enough, but splitting the property and money that used to belong to both of you can be painful and contentious. The entire process of your divorce can suddenly become unpredictably ensnared over what is community property, who is going to get a certain piece of furniture, or over how much needs to be paid in alimony.
You need a lawyer who is a strong negotiator to keep the property division process moving forward, but you also need a person who will fight for you in front of a judge. At Carucci Di Lorenzo, LLC, our strategy is to negotiate first, but know what we can get, and be prepared to take the case before a judge when it’s time.
Who Gets What?
There are countless items that have to be negotiated during the property division phase of divorce proceedings:
- Who gets the home?
- Who gets the car?
- How are the marital assets split?
- How are retirement accounts, pensions or 401K 401(k) accounts going to be split?
- How are savings accounts going to be split?
- How are debts from a divorce handled?
This is just a sampling of the issues you will have to face. These can be questions that will affect your future, your level of comfort for years to come, even how you will spend your retirement years. We can help you by being a guide through the process as well as a strong representative on your behalf. We can help you know when it’s time to negotiate, when it’s time to compromise and when it’s time to fight.
Aiming Realistically High
We start by understanding that the court, in its final decision, will use an equitable distribution model. That means that for the most part, without any sort of prenuptial agreement in place, whatever assets and debts you accumulated during the marriage will be split according to what the court deems to be fair and equitable.
