Seeking The Equitable Division Of Property

In North Carolina, all marital property must be divided equitably under the law. The important thing to remember is that equitable and equal are not necessarily the same thing. While the judge may decide to split property down the middle, he or she is not required to do so. In fact, judges have a lot of discretion in property division matters. For this reason, it is often a good idea for the parties to work out their differences in negotiations or mediation. Of course, we are prepared to take an aggressive approach in litigation when necessary as well.

Our first step will be to determine what is marital property and what is separate property. Separate property can include property acquired before the marriage, gifts and inheritances. Any property that is not separate property is marital property. Once we determine what is marital property and its value, we will work to achieve a fair result.

Providing Candid, Practical Legal Counsel

Ultimately, the decision to go to trial or settle a case is yours. This decision must be the product of careful thought, however. With many years of family law trial experience, Aimee E. Cain can assess how the judge will view your position. While we have had success in the courtroom, we also don’t want our clients to spend needless time and money fighting battles that do not need to be fought. This approach has led to successful outcomes time and again.
