Complex Property Division Issues in Divorce
At the Law Offices of Alan L. Offen, we pride ourselves on our ability to handle both simple divorces, as well as complex divorce cases involving large marital estates and complicated issues of asset and debt division. We are fully capable of handling the following:
- Business valuations
- Home appraisals
- Real estate valuations
- Tax considerations
- Jewelry appraisals
- Valuations of pension plans, 401K, and other retirement accounts
- Division of stocks and mutual funds
- Valuations of luxury vehicles
- Division of credit card debt, secured debts, and unsecured debts
In New York, courts are instructed by law to divide property according to the tenets of equitable division. As a result, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of property division permutations they can consider based on the unique circumstances of each and every couple. As such, if you have significant financial assets, the divorce attorney you retain could prove to be an altogether invaluable investment.
At our office, your case will be handled by our lead attorney, Alan L. Offen, along with a staff of experienced professionals dedicated to helping you throughout the duration of your case. Mr. Offen has more than 30 years of family law experience and is a noted family law and matrimonial attorney in the Rochester community. He understands the complexities involved in divorces involving significant assets and debt.
Some of the legal issues involved in divorce cases include:
- Determination of marital property vs. separate property
- Commingling of assets
- The effect of prenuptial agreements
- Tracing of assets to determine their source
To better serve clients in those divorce cases involving significant financial assets and property division, our firm will retain the services of outside financial professionals, including forensic accountants, CPAs, realtors, business valuation specialists, and other business and financial experts who can help us build our client's divorce case.
