New York Attorneys Committed to Fair & Equitable Solutions
Our White Plains divorce lawyers seek to minimize conflict
In equitable distribution states such as New York, assets acquired and liabilities incurred during the marriage, individually by one spouse or jointly by both, are considered marital property, subject to equitable distribution. Marital property is divided fairly and equitably, but not necessarily equally, through equitable distribution. THE KITSON LAW FIRM, PLLC has the necessary knowledge and familiarity with New York’s property division laws to ensure that you will obtain the fairest settlement.The attorneys at THE KITSON LAW FIRM, PLLC have the necessary knowledge and familiarity with New York’s property division laws to ensure that you will obtain the fairest settlement.
Emphasizing experience and meticulous preparation
Before the actual distribution of the property, your lawyer will need to determine what property will be distributed and the value of said property. Equitable distribution states classify property as either “marital property,” assets acquired during the marriage and available for distribution, or “separate property,” assets acquired prior the marriage and exempt from division. Our divorce attorneys have the necessary familiarity with New York’s equitable distribution laws to distinguish property as either marital property or separate property. We also have the skill to trace the commingling of separate assets with marital assets, prevent unfair distribution and ensure that no assets or debts are overlooked.
Marital property may include anything you have that could be considered an asset, such as:
- Stocks and bonds
- Automobiles
- Bank accounts
- Investment accounts
- Marital home and vacation homes
- Home furnishings
- Timeshares
- Retirement funds
- Pensions and annuities
- Businesses
