As a mediator and a lawyer, Ora Schwartzberg knows how difficult it can be to divide the property accumulated during a marriage. There are practical financial concerns as well as emotional concerns that enter into dividing marital property in a divorce.
-
How should real property be divided? Is there a family home? Is there a second home, a time share, or income property? Our attorney will help you identify and value the real estate involved.
-
While marital property is often divided in half, that can change if one spouse stayed at home and, as a result, has a lower earning potential. In a long-term marriage, the spouse who stayed at home to care for the home and family may need a larger share of property for it to be equitable. The goal under New Hampshire law is an equitable division of property.
-
In a short-term marriage (less than ten years), the court looks for a result that will return both spouses to their pre-marriage financial condition where possible.
-
Our law firm can help you identify, value, and divide marital property such as a family business, retirement accounts, pension benefits, and stock options.
-
Inherited property is treated differently depending on particular circumstances such as the time of the inheritance and the nature of the other marital property.
