Division of Property
Georgia law provides for “an equitable division” of all property acquired during the marriage with marital funds or marital labor. Separate property, which consists of property owned prior to the marriage, property inherited during the marriage, and certain gifts received during the marriage is generally not divided unless it has become commingled. Even if commingled, there are times when, with proper analysis, the commingled property can be divided into a ?marital share? and a ?separate share?. Property division is the business aspect of the divorce. Not only are the assets divided and apportioned, but debt is also divided and assigned to one or both parties for payment. Property of all kinds is covered (real estate, personal belongings, money, stock accounts, bank accounts, pensions, retirement accounts, and everything else). Our attorneys are very experienced with the process, and understand the factors that the Court will consider in first separating property and debt into marital and separate pots, and then dividing the marital asset and debts in the marital pot. We will work hard to present the facts in the light most favorable to you, and to get you the best possible result. Our background in business and finance enables us to advocate effectively for the most favorable asset and debt division for you.
