Marital Assets

Helping You Get Your Fair Share of the Marital Assets in a Divorce

Experienced Divorce Lawyer in Ephrata, Pennsylvania

Some of the first things I will ask during an initial consultation concerning a possible separation or divorce are what are the marital assets and what are they worth. In order to help you maximize the assets that you receive in a separation or divorce, it is essential for me to have all the information it is possible to obtain.

What are Marital Assets?

Generally, marital assets are those which were acquired from the date of the marriage until the date of final separation. There are even circumstances where a portion of assets acquired by one spouse before marriage or after final separation can be available for division between the parties.

It is best to obtain the advice of an experienced attorney who is knowledgeable in divorce law to determine when final separation has occurred and what property is available for distribution by agreement or at an equitable distribution hearing.

Knowledge Is King

In the area of marital property, knowledge is king. Obviously, an asset cannot be pursued and distributed if its existence is unknown. It is always crucial for a spouse who is considering a separation or divorce to search for, find and copy as many financial records as possible so that all marital assets are uncovered and the proof is preserved.

Once obtained, both sides will have equal access to all pertinent information so no asset can be hidden and the cost of obtaining the information through court procedures can be minimized.

The Experience You Need on Your Side

I have advised hundreds of people over my 34 years of family law practice about how to obtain financial information and the significance of the information when obtained.
