Chelmsford Complex Property Division Attorneys

The longer a couple has been married, the more time they have had to acquire property and assets, intertwine their lives, and complicate their lives. These couples may no longer have young children whose custody and support are major issues. Rather, property division is more difficult to settle and often needs to be litigated in court.

Whether you are a mature couple or a younger couple who brought multiple homes and other wealth into your marriage, you need an attorney who knows the wide variety of assets that must be divided and who can protect your best interests in trial when necessary.

Property and Assets

Massachusetts law requires property to be divided equitably, though not necessarily equally. An almost unlimited variety of property must be located, identified as marital or separate, and evaluated. These include:

• Real estate
• Stocks
• Bonds
• Investment portfolios
• Pension benefits
• Retirement accounts
• Family businesses
• Military benefits

We employ experts including forensic accountants, actuaries and business appraisers to accurately evaluate property. We seek out hidden assets, and are prepared for issues such as the enforceability of prenuptial agreements, and tax consequences of dividing property in various ways.

The outcome of your property division settlement or litigation will have consequences for many years to come. Our firm is a broad practice with a high level of dedication to our clients. In nearly three decades we have built a firm known for attentive and responsive service and high-quality advocacy.

To discuss your situation in an atmosphere of professionalism and dignity, please contact our office in Chelmsford today. Your initial consultation with an experienced Chelmsford property division lawyer will be free and completely confidential.
