Division of Assets
During a divorce or dissolution of a same-sex partnership, the division of a couple's assets may be complicated. At Bender Rosenthal Isaacs & Richter LLP, we offer experienced and strategic advocacy, which is focused on protecting our clients' share of the couple's assets. From assessment, valuation, and determination of our clients' rights, we ensure that our clients retain their equitable share of the assets through either settlement or litigation.
Equitable Distribution of Assets in Divorce Matters
In New York, Courts divide marital assets equitably, which does not necessarily mean equally. As such, it can be extremely complex when a couple, who has a high net worth, must equitably divide their marital assets. At Bender Rosenthal Isaacs & Richter LLP, we are experienced at navigating through the nuances of equitable distribution and ensuring that our clients receive their equitable share of marital assets. Throughout the process, our lawyers provide our clients with a clear understanding of the entire marital estate, and then advise our clients as to their best possible resolution. We work with accountants and other experts, who provide our team with the necessary support to: (a) identify marital assets; (b) value marital assets; and (c) determine the potential tax consequences after the division of marital assets. We protect our clients' rights to their share in the marital assets, whether it is through negotiation and settlement or litigation.
