Divorce can seem overwhelming. Without legal guidance, it can be difficult to know if you are making the right choices for you and your family. In particular, an attorney can help you plan for the future by working with you to determine a fair property settlement in your divorce. By listening to your concerns, a knowledgeable lawyer can negotiate for the assets that you need to move forward with your life.
At the Law Office Kenneth G. Harrison, Esq., P.C., I have protected the rights of men and women throughout the Lower Bucks County, Philadelphia and Eastern Montgomery County area in matters related to divorce and property division since 1992. My highest priority is providing personal service to my clients and helping them achieve their goals.
At my firm, you will not be handed off to a paralegal or associate. As a skilled Bensalem property division lawyer, I will personally handle your case and work one-on-one with you to develop a property division plan that meets your needs now and into the future. Contact my office or call me at 215-447-3149 (toll free at 888-791-1404) to schedule a free initial consultation.
What Property Is Divided in a Divorce?
In Pennsylvania, marital property is equitably divided in a divorce. As opposed to a 50-50 split of the property, equitable division focuses on what debt and asset distribution would be fair to both parties.
Marital property includes any assets and debts acquired during a marriage, including:
- Real property such as your home or vacation property
- Debts, including a mortgage or credit card debt
- Retirement funds, 401(k), pensions and annuities
- Stock options, profit sharing plans and other alternative forms of employee compensation
- Personal property such as vehicles, furniture or antiques
- Business interests
In order to determine the fair value and division of your marital property, I will thoroughly investigate you and your spouse's finances and assets. When necessary, I will search for hidden assets and accounts. I also consult forensic accountants, appraisers and business valuation experts in order to help you secure your equitable share of the property.
