Chapel Hill Divorce & Property Division Attorney
When going through a divorce, you want to do everything you can to protect yourself financially. An experienced lawyer can help you take important steps to secure your financial future. At The Law Office of Donna E. Bennick, P.C., we help individuals come up with fair property division plans. From asset allocations to the division of debt, we are prepared to handle the most complex property division matters.
Property Division
Every property division plan requires an honest dialogue. Creating open and honest relationships with our clients, we can help our clients fully present a complete picture of the marital and separate assets. Once we have compiled a list of all marital assets and debts, we can begin the complex process of division. For instance:
- Pensions: The rules are complicated, but pensions do not have to be liquidated in order to be divided. We can help you divide your pension while keeping it intact and avoiding adverse tax consequences.
- Division of debt: From car payments and mortgages to credit card debt, we will help you come up with a plan to pay off the debt that has accumulated during the marriage.
- Marital home: We will help you analyze the best way to deal with the marital home by considering the financial aspects as well as the need for one spouse and/or the children to remain in the home.
- Businesses: Starting with a financial analysis of a business, we can help you determine the value of the business, and how to come up with an accurate way of dividing it between the parties.
- Insurance issues: There are very specific federal laws that apply to medical insurance. We will help you determine how to maintain medical coverage when the marriage has ended, and if any life insurance issues may apply to a particular situation.
- College savings: If you have been saving for your children's college education, we can help you make sure that money remains for your children.
Many property issues are tax driven. With a tax attorney of counsel to the firm, we know how to properly consider all aspects of your property division plan.
