Distribution of Assets

Divorce is not just the end of a marriage, it is a legal and financial turning point that can reshape your future. One of the most critical aspects of this process is the distribution of assets.

At Gehi & Associates, our skilled family law attorneys work tirelessly to ensure that your share reflects not only your contributions but also your future needs.

Every state has its own rules, but most follow the principle of equitable distribution, meaning assets are divided fairly, though not always equally. What is considered fair? That depends on several important factors, including:

• The length of your marriage
• The income, earning potential, and career sacrifices of each spouse
• Each spouse’s assets, debts, and financial responsibilities
• The needs of your children (if any)
• Each spouse’s role in acquiring and maintaining assets
• Any misconduct that contributed to the breakdown of the marriage

Some property may be off-limits. Assets acquired before the marriage or inherited/gifted during the marriage may be treated as separate property in certain states. And in fault-based divorces, courts can adjust asset division if one spouse’s actions caused the marital breakdown.

But make no mistake, dividing assets is rarely straightforward. Emotions run high, and financial complexity can cloud judgment. Having the right legal support is crucial.

At Gehi & Associates, we don’t just fight for “fair” we fight for what’s right. Our team dives deep into your financial picture, protects your legal interests, and negotiates strategically to maximize your share. Whether you are dealing with real estate, business interests, retirement accounts, or personal property, we guide you with clarity and confidence.
