Equitable Distribution
McKnight Law helps separated clients divide their property while divorcing.
Equitable Distribution in Wake County
A Wake County equitable distribution lawyer from McKnight Law can help you divide your property. Once you retain an attorney, you can negotiate with the other party to choose how to distribute the property or litigate the matter in court.
Factors Considered with Equitable Distribution
Your Wake County equitable distribution lawyer will discuss all the factors that can impact how much property you receive from the court. Some factors include:
- Income and debt
- Child support payments from previous relationships or marriages
- Duration of marriage
- Health and age of both spouses
- Actions taken to waste or preserve assets
Types Of Property
Marital property refers to the property you acquired while married, as long as it isn’t a gift or inheritance. Gifts from one spouse to another count as marital property, though. The only exception is if the gift giver states that it’s separate property.
Divisible property refers to the increases and decreases in the marital property after the separation. In addition, any passive income earned from the marital property after you separate is counted as divisible property. The court will value your divisible property during your divorce trial.
Appraising The Property
Our Wake County equitable distribution lawyer can work directly with professional appraisers to establish the value of the property. Your Wake County lawyer can then provide evidence to prove the value in court, if needed.
