Massachusetts works as an equitable distribution state for divorce proceedings. That means that all assets earned before or during the marriage (either individually or as a couple) are defined as “marital assets” and all debts incurred during marriage are defined as “marital debts.”
There are two primary issues involved in the division of marital property:
- Whether you or your spouse has a legal interest in the property;
- The value of the property.
Both issues can be complex. That is where our Southern Massachusetts and Cape Cod family law attorneys can help. Our experience allows us to explain which pieces of property may be subject to asset division and which property may be exempt from consideration.
Attorney Irwin M. Pollack and the divorce and family law attorneys of The Massachusetts Family Law Group pride themselves on their aggressive advocacy for clients and corresponding track record of success.
