Property Division
in Massachusetts Divorce Cases

Divorce creates financial strain. Two individual households are often more expensive to maintain, and there is usually no clear winner in the division of assets and debt.

At our Law Offices in Attleboro, we work hard on behalf of our clients to preserve their assets. Generally, you must abide by the principle of fair and equitable division of property, but there is no specific formula or guideline for the division of marital property in Massachusetts. As a lawyer representing a client, we employ tools such as discovery and subpoena's to gather financial information concerning both parties.  We work with real estate or business appraisers when necessary.

To maintain control of your property settlement agreement, it is best to resolve all issues and create a plan through mediation or another out-of-court method.

Contact us today in Attleboro, Massachusetts, at 508-369-3162. We will help you schedule a consultation during which you will discuss your specific objectives and concerns.
