When you are a party to a divorce proceeding and you need to determine how to divide the assets and obligations of the marriage equitably, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your interests, one who understands the complex financial issues that may arise when evaluating real estate, mortgages, investments, retirement funds, business assets and tax implications.
At the Law Offices of Cynthia L. Hanley, P.C., in Mansfield, Attorney Hanley has 28 years of experience and Attorney Carty has 12 years of experience advising individuals regarding the division of assets and debts during a divorce proceeding. We know that issues involving the equitable distribution of assets can be challenging and complex. We provide fair and strong, yet compassionate and accessible legal counsel to individuals in all matters involving divorce and family law, including the distribution of debts and assets. Contact our office to set up a confidential consultation.
In Massachusetts, when making determinations regarding the distribution of marital debts and assets, the courts considers many different factors, including age and health of the parties, the length of the marriage, future earning potential, needs of any minor children, the actions of the parties and the contribution of each party to the acquisition and maintenance of the marital estate.
When you hire us to help you with the equitable distribution of marital property, we will start by identifying all of the assets of the marriage, including what was acquired before the marriage and what property was acquired during the marriage. Next, we will determine the value of the marital assets.
Once we have a solid understanding of the value of the debts and assets of the marriage, we will work with you to put together an agreement that equitably divides everything, including real estate, investments and bank accounts, credit card debt, retirement funds and business assets. Equitable distribution does not necessarily mean equal division. We will also make certain that your ex-spouse does not wrongfully spend or dissipate assets while the divorce is still pending.
For experienced, fair and strong counsel when you need to determine the division of marital debts and assets, contact us to schedule a confidential consultation.
