Guiding You Through Asset And Debt Division
As you divorce, you have a lot of decisions to make and concerns to address. You may question what will happen to all of your beloved property or even fear that the retirement account you’ve worked so hard to build will be ruined.
Attorney Jason A. Showen of The Law Offices of Jason A. Showen, LLC, understands your apprehension and will take the time to thoroughly explain how the property division process works and ensure that we utilize innovative strategies to pursue the best possible result on your behalf. We handle complex divorces and other family law matters for people in Lebanon and throughout Southwest Ohio.
How Is Property Divided?
In Ohio, property is divided following the equitable distribution model. This is often a complex matter, as we must identify what assets are marital and what are separate. Marital property is essentially all property acquired by you and your spouse throughout the marriage. Separate property can include inheritances, gifts and any assets owned before the marriage.
As we establish which category each asset falls into, we must do a valuation on your assets to determine worth.
What Types Of Property Are Considered?
Both assets and debts are subject to division. This goes beyond the house or car and can be difficult emotionally. Items include:
- Physical property
- Stock options and bonds
- Retirement accounts
- Real estate
- Businesses or business interests
- Professional interests and investments
- Debts accrued throughout the marriage
Our goal is to ensure proper valuation, uncover any hidden assets and optimize the end results.
