Helping You With Your Property Division in Upstate New York
Equitable distribution of property sounds like an equal property division, but that is not always the case. When dividing property, the courts look to distribute marital property equitably between the parties, considering factors such as income of each spouse at the beginning and end of marriage, duration of the marriage, ages and health. The needs of the parent assigned primary custody of the children will be considered as well for property such as the marital home. Pets may also factor into property division.
It is here that an attorney experienced in divorce in New York State can be of tremendous help, as this is often one of the most contentious issues in a divorce proceeding.
"Some attorneys fan the flames of emotion. But I see my job as being empathetic while encouraging my client to develop realistic expectations. In the end, I want you to look back and know you made the best choices for you and your family." — Attorney Ian R. Arcus
