Jacksonville Property Division Attorney

How Does Property Division Work?

When you are involved in a divorce, the division of property is an important factor that necessarily must be solved.  All of the property purchased during the marriage is considered to be community property and must be divided in a fair and equitable manner.   The items that are considered to be marital assets include the following:

• Property (including the family home) that was purchased during the marriage
• Cars and other vehicles belonging to the family
• Furniture
• Jewelry
• Stock accounts and other investment accounts
• Pensions, insurance policies and bank accounts

If you had property prior to the marriage, this is not going to be included in the property division unless there are circumstances that make this possible, such as putting the other person’s name on the deed for the property.  If the other partner invested in improving the property that is in your name only, or put in time and effort, the court may consider that they have some claim to that property as well.  If you are involved in a divorce or planning a divorce and property division is an issue that you consider may be a problem, it is crucial that you contact a Jacksonville property division attorney to assist you.  At the Law Office of Wesley H.
