Metro Detroit Area Property Division Lawyer
Helping Clients Resolve Disputes Related to Marital Assets
Property Settlements • Equitable Distribution • Division of Debt
The state of Michigan is a non-community property state, meaning assets and property acquired during a marriage will be divided equitably in the event of a divorce. Equitable distribution of assets does not necessarily mean equal. In this case, equitable property division refers to dividing martial assets in a fair manner.
At the Legal Center of Jack L. Jaffe, we believe the key to a successful attorney-client relationship is the ability to resolve property settlement disputes without losing focus on the goals and objectives of our clients. This philosophy, developed during our more than 25 years of practice, allows us to achieve results without wreaking havoc on your checking account.
During your free initial consultation, Jack L. Jaffe, an experienced family law and divorce attorney, will meet with you to discuss your property division goals and options for reaching them. Contact our Detroit, Michigan, area law office to schedule an appointment.
Working to Build a Solid Foundation for Your Future
Issues surrounding property division are often some of the most highly contested in a divorce situation. It is easy for couples to get caught up in "who gets what" and lose sight of their ultimate goal — to achieve an outcome that allows them to move forward with their new life.
We work with our clients, sometimes employing the assistance of industry experts, to separate martial assets from those acquired prior to marriage and to place proper value on retirement accounts, business interests and real estate holdings. By knowing the full value of your martial assets and property, we can go into negotiation or trial with an effective strategy in place.
Going through divorce and property division is never an easy process. Emotions run high, sometimes clouding judgment. We work with you to keep your eyes focused on the finish line, providing you the support and information you need to make the right choices for your future.
