The process of determining and then dividing marital property is a complicated issue in a divorce.  First, we must identify what is marital property subject to equitable distribution.  Then we must value that property and finally establish a method of distribution between the parties.  It can be very difficult to sift through what is marital property, what is seperate property and gather the necessary documentation to prepare your case.  The lawyers at Cohen & Cohen, P.C. can help you evaluate the marital assets and fight for a division that is right for you. 

Some cases can appear relatively simple, but result in some very complex issues that have to be worked out.  We have handled hundreds of cases and we understand the numerous issues you face such as:

• Who will get the marital residence?
• Can I retain the money I inherited during the marriage?
• Can I get a share of money my spouse may inherit in the future?
• If my spouse owned stock before our marriage and it appreciated greatly during our marriage, do I have a right to the increase?
• If my spouse owned their business before our marriage and it achieved great success during our marriage, am I entitled to the portion of their business?
