Asset Property Division

Get Guidance From An Asset And Property Division Lawyer

Alabama Courts strive to divide property equitably during a divorce. An equitable property division is one that is fair, and it is not based on an equal split, or who holds a title or deed. Rather, each person has an interest in any marital property, and an equitable division is one that is fair and reasonable. This process can be very difficult and complex, especially if one or both spouses fail to cooperate, or if a party attempts to hide assets as a means of keeping them out of the settlement.

At the , we will work closely with you and help you assess your options during the property division process.
