Divorce is a difficult and emotional process for anyone to go through. One of the most crucial aspects of a divorce is dividing the assets. Divorce asset division is an important part of ending a marriage, and it can be a complicated process. In this blog post, we will guide you through the basics of divorce asset division to help you better understand the process, and how a divorce attorney can assist you.



Identifying the Assets

The first step in the asset division process is to identify all properties and assets that are jointly owned. In other words, all the assets which came into possession of both partners during the course of the marriage. This includes everything from real estate properties to bank accounts, retirement accounts, and other investments. It is important to have a complete picture of all the assets before moving forward with the asset division process.

Valuing the Community Assets

The next step is to value the assets that were identified. This process can be straightforward for some assets like bank accounts and real estate, but for others, like businesses or investments, it can be more challenging. It is important to have accurate valuations for all assets to ensure fair division. You can get this done by an experienced financial forensic analyst who can assess and quantify the value of the entire marital estate.

Dividing the Community Assets

Once all the assets have been identified and valued, the next step is to divide them between the spouses fairly. This doesn’t necessarily mean splitting everything exactly in half, but rather giving each spouse a fair percentage of the assets based on their contributions to the marriage and their needs for the future. Remember to also take into account any debts that might come with an asset so it doesn’t hurt one party more than the other.
