Hendersonville Property Division Lawyer

Couples naturally build up a significant amount of joint holdings and shared items over the years they spend married. Many people also enter a union with their own separate assets or inherit specific items that remain theirs alone, even as the years pass. Because there are so many different ways that a person can acquire something, going through the property division process to ensure you walk away with the assets you worked for can feel overwhelming.

Many residents in our community decide to partner with a legal professional to make sure their future stability remains intact during the creation of a settlement. At Brad H.

Property Division After a Divorce

North Carolina law looks at two main categories when it comes to separating your life from your spouse, and having a lawyer to distinguish between them is helpful. Shared items often become the most heated part of a legal split because of the memories or the dollar signs attached to them. You need someone who can look at the facts without the cloud of emotion to help you keep what is rightfully yours. While you might be focused on who keeps the house you both bought in the mountains, you must also consider who is responsible for the loan on that camper or the credit card balances accumulated during the marriage. We assist our clients with both sides of the ledger:

• Division of Assets
• Division of Debts

Receiving a fair outcome requires a thorough look at what was earned or bought during the marriage versus what was owned before the wedding. Brad H. Ferguson has spent over a decade and a half looking at financial records and building arguments to support the goals of our clients. You can call us at (828) 660-0670 to discuss how we can assist you.

Am I responsible for repaying debt my spouse ran up during our marriage?
Whether you are responsible for a secret debt depends entirely on the specific facts of your marriage and why the debt was created. You should not have to pay for things you didn’t know about, especially if the money was used for things that didn’t benefit the household or if your spouse has a much higher ability to pay it off. The goal of the court is to reach an equitable distribution, which means a judge will look at the fairness of the situation and may decide the debt belongs only to the person who hid it.

Will child custody be determined during property division?
Yes, the presence of children and the resulting custody arrangements weigh heavily on how a judge divides a home or a vehicle. The parent who has the children the majority of the time might be granted the right to stay in the family home to keep the children in their current school district or routine. Costs related to the children are also examined closely to see how they should be shared. Every family is different, so it is best to talk through these details with an attorney who understands the nuances of Henderson County family law.
