Property division is not as simple as halving property. Spouses might receive a partial credit for debts, or a partial credit for property that was owned prior to the relationship, inherited, received as a gift, an injury settlement, or some insurance settlements. You might also be entitled to a credit where taxes would be payable when property is withdrawn, which happens with some investments, land, and businesses. Businesses, farms, and pensions typically are not worth the value calculated in their statements, and need to be analyzed thoroughly. Our lawyers can address your right to be credited for these and other adjustments.
