Property Division Lawyer Harlem, NY
Few things are as contentious in a divorce as the division of marital property. Understandably, each spouse wants what they consider their rightful share of assets, including money, real property, and other items, but what you consider your fair share and what your soon-to-be-ex considers your fair share is often quite different. New York is not a 50/50 community property state, Instead, family law judges determine that the spot of marital property be equitable, not equal. It also preserves the status of separate property and inherited property, that which was acquired before marriage or that which one spouse directly inherited.

At the Law Office of Daniel Clement, we handle the toughest, most contentious divorces with a cool head and client-focused tenacity. Contact us today to speak with a member of our legal team.

Division Of Marital Property In NYC
NYC family law judges evaluate several factors when dividing property in a divorce, such as:
- The earning potential of each spouse

- Whether one spouse wasted marital assets (such as on an affair, gambling, or drugs and alcohol)
- Who has care and responsibility for children
- The separate and inherited property of each spouse
